What fate awaits the machine-gun man? Well, he ain't got no future and he ain't got no plan It's a shame, it's a shame, Lord The trigger be his only friend It's a shame, oh yeah He's a pocketful of hate that don't give a damn Tell me what a young man,

You can pretend you don't miss me (me) Oh what a shame I'm not there You can pretend you don't care All you wanna do is kiss me (me) Somebody new All you wanna do is kiss me (me) What is it you want? You can lie but I know that you're not fine (oh yeah)

And, I want her in my life The way she move to her own beat Ooh Ooh what a natural beauty No need no make-up to be a cutie And when they ask what a good woman's made of She's not afraid and ashamed of She's royal, yeah so royal No I never been someone shy

And I don't even know his last name My momma would be so ashamed It started off "hey cutie, where you from?" And then it turned into "oh no! what have I done?" And I don't even know my last name Last night, I got served, a little bit too much of that

What's owed will be repaid Has come to wash our shame away To erase the image of defeat Have licked our wounds, restored our strength And our vengeance will be oh so sweet They thought they had us down That we'd never rise again

I can see a change in you I see it coursing through your veins And it is a shame I barely recognize your face We're miles from way back when I can see a change Oh it is a shame oh you And I don't like what I'm seeing lately oh I don't like who I'm seeing

Oh it's a shame It's a shame And now you release what you're feeling But how is this supposed to ever be the same Well you got the best of me You know it's a shame, oh Oh I tried to get to you Pushed in the end to break me through

Oh glory, come and find me Dancing all alone To the sound of an enemy's song I'll be lost until you find me Fighting on my own In a war that's already been won I'll be lost until you come and find me here, oh glory What a shame, what a shame we all

Damn you talk to me! Little girl what's your name Now don't you go looking at me like that You might see I'm ashamed, what's your name Talk with me, won't you talk with me Oh pretty girl It ain't too hip faking lines you ain't taking But your lips make

Get on your way No way you're gonna work And Jack don't rock Oh what a shame I open the door Ooo, I strut like a cock It's all coming back to me If it's all the same I'll get on my coat and leave
