Machine Gun Man - Live

Tell me what a young man, mama
What's he got to live for
Tossed in the shuffle, child, of everyday war
Searchin' for some trouble, Lord
Which I'm sure he will find
Spend your whole life fightin', son
Meet your dyin' time

Lord, it's a shame
It's a shame, Lord
The trigger be his only friend
It's a shame, oh yeah
But it ain't never gonna end
That's right

He's a pocketful of hate
That don't give a damn
What fate awaits the machine gun man?
Well, he ain't got no future
And he ain't got no plan
What fate awaits the machine gun man?
Machine gun man, oh yeah, child
Step aside

I can't see tomorrow, mama, I can't see today
Trail of confusion, child, done leadin' my way
The only thing worth killin', Lord, be killin' time
The only soul worth savin' now, mama
Resavin' mine

Lord, it's a shame
It's a shame, Lord
The trigger be his only friend
It's a shame, oh yeah
But it ain't never gonna end
That's right

He's a pocketful of hate
That don't give a damn
What fate awaits the machine gun man?
Well, he ain't got no future
And he ain't got no plan
What fate awaits the machine gun man?
Oh, yeah

He keeps shootin', mama, like any old fool would do
Lord, the life he be leadin' ain't the one he has to choose
As he walks on out that door, mama breaks down to cry
Oh, as she waves the machine gun man
Goodbye, goodbye, oh, goodbye son

He's a pocketful of hate
Don't give a damn
What fate awaits the machine gun man?
Well, he ain't got no future, child
He ain't got no plan
What fate awaits the machine gun man?
Machine, yeah-yeah, gun man
Machine gun man, yeah, oh yeah
Step aside
