Machine Gun Lyrics by Jimi Hendrix

Machine Gun Lyrics

    Machine Gun
    Tearing my body all apart

    Machine Gun, yeah
    Tearing my body all apart

    Evil man make me kill ya
    Evil man make you kill me
    Evil man make me kill you
    Even though we’re only families apart

    Well I pick up my axe and fight like a bomber
    (You know what I mean)
    Hey! And your bullets keep knocking me down

    Hey, I pick up my axe and fight like a bomber now
    Yeah, but you still blast me down to the ground

    The same way you shoot me down, baby
    You’ll be going just the same
    Three times the pain,
    and your own self to blame
    Hey, Machine Gun

    I ain’t afraid of your mess no more, babe
    I ain’t afraid no more
    After a while, your, your cheap talk don’t even cause me pain,
    so let your bullets fly like rain

    ’Cause I know all the time you’re wrong baby
    And you’ll be going just the same
    Yeah, Machine Gun
    Tearing my family apart
    Yeah, yeah, alright
    Tearing my family apart

    (Don’t you shoot him down)
    (He’s ’bout to leave here)
    (Don’t you shoot him down)
    (He’s got to stay here)
    (He ain’t going nowhere)
    (He’s been shot down to the ground)
    (Oh where he can’t survive, no, no)

    Yeah, that’s what we don’t wanna hear anymore, alright?
    (No bullets)
    At least here, huh huh
    (No guns, no bombs)
    Huh huh
    (No nothin’, just let’s all live and live)
    (You know, instead of killin’)

    May this be
    Love or just
    Confusion Born out of
    frustration wracked
    feelings - of not
    being able to
    make true physical
    love to the
    Universal gypsy Queen
    True, free expressed music
    Darling guitar please
    rest. Amen
