Bang Bang Bang

words & music Tracy Chapman

(times) 4 4 6 2

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

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 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 shot 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 on 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

There'll no place to run

And if he finds himself to be

A refection 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 us down

Before you can bridge the gulf between

And embrace him in your arms

Bang bang bang

He'll shoot you down

I hope this fits :-)
