Machine Gun Blues Lyrics

Cover art for Machine Gun Blues lyrics by Social Distortion

most songs from mike ness are autobiographical but this song is written from the perspective of a gangster

On youtube, someone commented "Is he singing about the life and times of John Dillinger?" That makes sense to me... Dillinger was a gangster and bank-robber in the depression-era and got shot in 1934. and was definitely was public enemy #1 at some point...
