Текстове на песни: Tracy Chapman. Bang Bang Bang.

Song for little man

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
