What you go and do You go and give the boy a gun Now there ain't 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 candly Anything... oh 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 Bang bang bang! 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 and me And we can place a gun in his hand Bang bang bang! 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 Bang bang bang! He'll shoot us down Before you can raise your eyes to read The writing on the wall Bang bang bang! He'll shoot you down Before you can brigde the gulf between And embrace him in your arms Bang bang bang! He'll shoot you down

La chanson aborde les conséquences tragiques de donner les armes à un jeune, mettant en lumière l'escalade de la violence et la perte de contrôle. Elle montre comment cette arme donne un faux sentiment de pouvoir et de force, laissant peu ou pas de place pour échapper à la violence qui en découle. L’artiste évoque la spirale infernale des représailles et la peur qui s'installe quand la situation échappe à tout contrôle, rendant chacun vulnérable. Le contexte de cette réflexion peut être lié aux problématiques de la violence armée dans nos sociétés contemporaines, où les choix faits impactent non seulement les individus, mais aussi la communauté en entier. Les paroles soulignent à quel point la violence peut devenir une réponse à des blessures non résolues, et comment cela peut mener à une tragédie inévitable.
