[Verse 1]
Well, I'm a gangster in 1934
Junkies, winos, pimps, and whores
And all you men, women and kids best get out of the way
I just left your town, took all your loot
Wore a pink carnation and a pinstripe suit
A hopped-up V8 Ford and some two-tone shoes

[Chorus 1]
And I'm already gone
I left a pool of blood and sorrow
I've got the machine gun blues

[Verse 2]
I'll be out of here before the break of dawn
I'll hit the highway, smoke a big cigar
Gonna stop and bury the cash, then get some more
There's only one thing on my mind
That's makin' across that old state line
Without a hail of avenging bullets waiting there for me

[Chorus 2]
And I'm already gone
I left a path of pure destruction
I've got the machine gun blues
Already gone
My life will soon be through
I've got the machine gun blues
[Bridge]
I'm public enemy number one
I'm sorry for all the things that I've done
If indeed we do cross paths
It's nothing personal

[Chorus 2]
And I'm already gone
I left a trail of devastation
I've got the machine gun blues
Already gone
My life will soon be through
I've got the machine gun blues
