[Intro]
Machine gun
Tearing my body all apart
Machine gun
Tearing my body all apart

[Verse 1]
Evil man make me kill ya
Evil man make you kill me
Even though we're
Even though we're families apart

[Verse 2]
Blowin' away all my family
My only mother's child
Blowin' away all my family
My mother's only child

[Verse 3]
Don't you understand, machine gun?
That's the same way you been blowin' up the Bahamas
Three times a pain
Run across your brain

[Verse 4]
Over yonder, stands a mother
Sending clothes to her son by the war
I said "I'm her lover, baby
And we don't even try to fight the war
So shoot your bullets up a while and call me, baby
Of matter fact, you can shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot some more
[Instrumental Bridge]

[Guitar Solo]

[Interlude]
Ooh ooh...

[Verse 5]
Well I pick up an axe sometimes, and fight like a farmer
And you shoot me down, right back in the ground
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Pick up my axe and fight like a farmer
Put me right back down in the earth I was workin' on
Don't you shoot me down
Don't you shoot me down
The same way you shoot me down, baby
[?] always just upset
[?] bad
Shoot me down

[Guitar Outro]
