Bang Bang Bang |
What you go and do |
You go and give the boy a gun |
Now there ain’t place to run to |
Ain’t no place to run to |
When he hold it in his hand |
He feel mighty he feel strong |
Now there ain’t no place to run to |
Ain’t no place to run |
One day he may come back |
Repay us for what we’ve done |
Then where you gonna run to |
Where you gonna run |
But one fine day |
All our problems will be solved |
Bang bang bang |
We’ll shoot him down |
Give him drugs and give him candy |
Anything to make him think he’s happy |
And he won’t ever come for us |
He won’t ever come |
But if he does |
And if there’s no one else around |
Bang bang bang |
We’ll shoot him down |
If he preys only on his neighbors |
Brothers sisters and friends |
We’ll consider it a favor |
We’ll consider justice done |
But if he comes for you or me |
And we can place a gun in his hand |
Bang bang bang |
We’ll shoot him dead |
What you go and do |
You go and give the boy a gun |
Now there ain’t no place to run to |
Ain’t no place to run |
Now we’ll all be at his mercy |
If he decides to hunt us down |
Cause there ain’t no place to run to |
Ain’t no place to run |
If he wants the chances that you took from him |
And nothing that you own |
Then there’ll be no place to run to |
There’ll be no place to run |
And if he finds himself to be |
A reflection of us all |
Bang bang bang |
He’ll shoot us down |
Before you can raise your eyes to read |
The writing on the wall |
Bang bang bang |
He’ll shoot you down |
Before you can bridge the gulf between |
And embrace him in your arms |
Bang bang bang |
He’ll shoot you down |
