Lyric discussion by Cobain_lives 

Cover art for Machine Gun Man lyrics by Black Label Society

I think this is about a soldier going off to war and debating wether the murder in war is justifiable (They say the only thing worth killin' Lord Be killin' time say the only soul worth savin' now Mama be a Resavin' mine) then he becomes brainwashed and numb towards it all (He's a pocketful of hate That don't give a damn What fate awaits…The machine gun man?) It's a good look at wether or not drafting is against a persons right to moral boundary.
