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 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 candly Anything... oh, 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 and 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 brigde the gulf between And embrace him in your arms Bang bang bang! He´ll shoot you down
