Social Distortion - "Machine Gun Blues"

MACHINE GUN BLUES

Well I’m a gangster 1934

Junkies, Winos, Pimps & Whores

And all you men, women and kids

best get out the way

I just left your town, took all your loot,

bought a pink carnation and a pinstripe suit,

a hopped-up V8 Ford and some two-tone shoes

And I’m already gone, I like the pool of the blood and sorrow,

I've got the Machine Gun Blues

I’ll be outta of here for the break of dawn,

I'll hit the highway, smoke a big cigar,

got to stop and bury the cash, then get some more

There’s only one thing on my mind,

that's making it across that ol' state line,

but I've a hell of avenging bullets,

waiting there for me

And I’m already gone, I've left a path of pure destruction,

I've got the Machine Gun Blues

I'm already gone, my life will soon be through,

I've got the Machine Gun Blues

I'm public enemy #1

I'm sorry for all the things that I've done

If indeed we do cross path, it's nothing personal

And I’m already gone, I've left a trail of devastation,

I've got the Machine Gun Blues

I'm already gone, my life will soon be through,

I've got the Machine Gun Blues
