What do 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 runWhen the hold in his hand
He feel mighty he feel strong
Now there ain't no place to run to
Ain't no place to runOne day he may come back
Repay for what we done
Then where you gonna run to
Where you gonna runBut one fine day
All our problems will be solved
Bang bang bang
We'll shoot him downGive 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 comeBut if he does
And if there's no one else around
Bang bang bang
We'll shoot him downIf he preys only on his neighbors
Brothers sisters and friends
We'll consider it a favor
We'll consider justice doneBut if he comes for you or me
And we can place a gun in his hand
Bang bang bang
We'll shoot him deadWhat 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 runNow 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 runIf 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 runAnd if he finds himself to be
A reflection of us all
Bang bang bang
He'll shoot us downBefore you can raise your eyes to read
The writing on the wall
Bang bang bang
He'll shoot you downBefore you can bridge the gulf between
And embrace him in your arms
Bang bang bang
He'll shoot you down
