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
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
