Jack White - Machine Gun Silhouette Lyrics






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 under 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 the old man make a dime
There's one gun guy coming straight out of Texas
Doesn't keep not one for himself
He's got a kingdom of gun shops
He likes to decorate 'em
With the trophies of somebody else
Yeah, the trophies of somebody else
Well, the trophies of somebody else!

  1. S.... B....

    This is great! Thank you!

    Ah yes. One of those high-quality pre-warped Third Man pressings....

    Jack uses one of the shittiest pressing plants in the US. I can't wait until he gets his own presses.

    just bought this 45, can't wait till it gets here

    I wish I saw this song live.. But I don't think he plays it.. It should have been on the record, one of the best, if not my favorite! :)
