Bang Bang Bang (2015 Remastered) Lyrics

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'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

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
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
He'll shoot us down
Before you can raise your eyes to read
The writing on the wall
He'll shoot you down
Before you can bridge the gulf between
And embrace him in your arms
He'll shoot you down

Tracy Chapman (born March 30, 1964) is an American singer-songwriter, best known for the singles "Fast Car", "Talkin' Bout a Revolution", "Baby Can I Hold You", and "Give Me One Reason." She is a multi-platinum and multi-Grammy award-winning artist.

Born in Cleveland, Ohio,U.S., Tracy Chapman began playing guitar and writing songs as a child. She received a scholarship through A Better Chance that allowed her to attend Wooster School in Connecticut, and was eventually accepted to Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts.

Tracy Chapman helped restore singer/songwriters to the spotlight in the '80s. The multi-platinum success of Chapman's eponymous 1988 debut was unexpected, and it had lasting impact. Although Chapman was working from the same confessional singer/songwriter foundation that had been popularized in the '70s, her songs were fresh and powerful, driven by simple melodies and affecting lyrics. At the time of her first album, there were only a handful of artists performing such a style successfully, and her success ushered in a new era of singer/songwriters that lasted well into the '90s. Along with 10,000 Maniacs and R.E.M., Chapman's liberal politics proved enormously influential on American college campuses in the late '80s
