All the soldiers fightin' in vietnam. like to do A thing called 'machine gun'."
Machine gun Tearing my body all apart
Evil man make me kill ya Evil man make you kill me
Evil man make me kill you Even though we're only families apart
Well I pick up my axe and fight lik a bomber Hey and your bullets keep knocking me down Hey I pick up my axe and fight like a bomber now
Yeah but you still blast me down to the ground
The same way you shoot me down baby You'll be going just the same
Three times the pain And your own self to blame Hey machine gun
I ain't afraid of your mess no more, babe I ain't afraid no more
After a while your your cheap talk don't evern cause me pain
So let your bullets fly like rain 'cause I know all the time you're wrong baby
And you'll be goin' just the same Yeah machine gun
Tearing my family apart Yeah yeah alright Tearing my family apart
Don't you shoot him down He's about to leave here
Don't you shoot him down He's got to stay here
He ain't going nowhere He's been shot down to the ground
Oh where he can't survive no no that's what we don't wanna hear any more, alright No bullets At least here, No guns, no bombs No nothin', just
let's all live and live You know instead of killin' (songfacts)

The song was inspired by The Vietnam War, the Black Panther Party, and the business struggles Hendrix was dealing with. (songfacts)
Vietnam War, Hue city 1968
