Cover art for A Boy And His Machine Gun lyrics by Matthew Good Band

One of the best MGB songs. Many people think this song has something to do with the columbine school shootings, but I believe that the song is about a mental patient. I think A Boy With A Machine Gun is talking about the way in which humans view things that don't conform with mainstream society. In this song Matt used the example of a mental patient to ask us a question. What gives society the right to say what is acceptable or not. We lock mental patients up with the excuse that " oh he/she is crazy," but who should determine if they are crazy or not. JUst because they have different views or opinions on things we should be allowed to lock these people up. -tell me what you think
