Machine Gun Silhouette

I wore a shirt one day with a machine gun silhouette

sportin’ a rainbow clip.
I had this gun guy starin’ at me

wonderin’ where I got it

and he just about flipped over it.


I don’t know his name,

yeah, but just the same he buys a literal mountain of death.


And I lost five

or six bidding wars against him,

yeah, until I had no money left.


I said until I had no money left,

yeah, until I had no money left, oh!

I don’t want to get hurt or be too disappointed

if the feathers are broken and dead.


The birds look good in person

but not in the photos

and super vice versa I bet.


I’ve seen the auctioneer get pretty frustrated

if somethin’ good gets overbid.

When I went down there

I got pretty damned suspicious

but he seems like a pretty good kid.
Yeah, he seems like a pretty good

kid,

well, he seemed like a pretty good kid!

This joint’s been around for a while

and it feels like the same old crowd each time.


But there’s always that chance

of a shill biddin’ trucker

tryin’ to help the old man make a dime.


This one gun guy comin’ straight out of Texas

doesn’t even mount one for himself.


He’s got a kingdom of gun shops,

he likes to he likes to decorate them.

with the trophies of somebody else
Yeah,

with the trophies of somebody

else, 

well, with the trophies of somebody else!
