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
