Machine Gun Silhouette Songtext
von Jack White

I wore a shirt one day with a machine gun silhouette
Sportin′ a rainbow clip
I had this gun guy staring at me
Wondering 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 5 or 6 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 you getting hurt if you're 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 getting pretty frustrated
If something good gets on the bid
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 seems 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
Trying to help a young man make a dime
There′s one gun guy coming straight out of Texas doesn't eat not one for himself
He′s got a kick in the gun shop
She likes to take him ridin'
With the trophies of somebody else
Yeah, the trophies of somebody else
Well, the trophies of somebody else
