Jack White – Machine Gun Silhouette Lyrics
I wore a shirt one day with a machine gun silhouette,
Sporttin’ 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!
Sporttin’ 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!
