Well I’m a gangster 1934 Junkies, Winos, Pimps & Whores And all you men, women and kids best get out the way I just left your town, took all your loot, bought a pink carnation and a pinstripe suit, a hopped-up V8 Ford and some two-tone shoes And I’m already gone, I like the pool of blood and sorrow, I've got the Machine Gun Blues I’ll be out of here for the break of dawn, I'll hit the highway, smoke a big cigar, got to stop and bury the cash, and get some more There’s only one thing on my mind, that's making it across that ol' state line, but I’m a hell of avenging bullets, waiting there for me And I’m already gone, I've left a path of pure destruction, I've got the Machine Gun Blues I'm already gone, my life will soon be through, I've got the Machine Gun Blues I'm public enemy #1 I'm sorry for the things that I've done If indeed we do cross path, it's nothing personal And I’m already gone, I've left a trail of devastation, I've got the Machine Gun Blues I'm already gone, my life will soon be through, I've got the Machine Gun Blues
@mrlosist I'm a "Sick 'girl" and I live in "Another State of Mind"! Can't wait til the 20th! Last chance I had to see these guys was in '84! And that just ain't right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With my "motorcycle jacket" and "big motor bike" baby!!!!!!!
Seriously, the comments about innocent dead bodies? Come on folks, it's a short film/video meant for entertainment. Social Distortion, especially Mr. Ness has been inspiring me for decades, in fact possibly saving my life through his music. So hats off and a huge thank you for all that you do. :)
i heard that Black Veil Brides had said their new album would sound like Social Distortion meets Metallica, so I checked these guys out, and I gotta say I like what I hear :)
Production Designer, Philip Duffin, should get an award... also Costume Designer Kristin Anacker... DP Charles Papert... and of course, especially, Director Jeremy Alter... but one quesion... whose IDEA was this?
OMG! This is way cool! I will be 44 this month. Been a fan of Social D's for nearly 30 years!!!! I can't believe it! I am going to see them when they come here to Tennessee on the 20th. The Ryman better be prepared! That's all I can say! Mike Ness, Johnny "2 Bags" Wickersham, Brent Harding and David Hidalgo Jr. are still kicking ass!!!!!!! Can't wait til the show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i found this on my own cuz I LOVE SOCIAL D!! aint no one tell me to check it out, i checked it out cuz ive been waiting to see mike ness kickin ass with a tommy gunn....and what!!...he's kickin ass with a tommy gun?! SICK!!!!! ;D
I love Social D - have been a huge fan since 1987...Think they watched "Public Enemies" one too many times, but great production value and the song is awesome.
@lil11taz hey i'm 46 big fan too an i'll be there too! I also can't wait! Had my tickets since the second they went on sale! Been waiting for this a long time,hope to see you there! Were gonna tear it down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video. I would rate Machine Gun Blues as high as Metalica's One video. For those wondering why the guy was kicking ass with a bolt action rifle, they were shooting at a distance and the bolt action rifle is a lot more accurate 45 cal Tompson Sub Machine Gun. The bolt action rifle was a 1903 30-06 Springfield rifle. Was used in the military for over 50 years. The rifle is accurate up to 600 yards with the stock sight.
Somebody just get those guys a movie deal. I want to see more of this.
"I'm public enemy no. 1,
I'm sorry for all the things that I've done,
If indeed we do cross paths,
It's nothing personal."
awesome lyrics
my favorite part 🤘🏼
Mike ness is a legend, deeply under appreciated for his talents. He's a lot like Johnny Cash with a splash of punk rock.
Best Punkabilly Band Ever, Hands Down!
....
felt like a just watched a summary to the most badass movie ever
Well I’m a gangster 1934
Junkies, Winos, Pimps & Whores
And all you men, women and kids
best get out the way
I just left your town, took all your loot,
bought a pink carnation and a pinstripe suit,
a hopped-up V8 Ford and some two-tone shoes
And I’m already gone, I like the pool of blood and sorrow,
I've got the Machine Gun Blues
I’ll be out of here for the break of dawn,
I'll hit the highway, smoke a big cigar,
got to stop and bury the cash, and get some more
There’s only one thing on my mind,
that's making it across that ol' state line,
but I’m a hell of avenging bullets,
waiting there for me
And I’m already gone, I've left a path of pure destruction,
I've got the Machine Gun Blues
I'm already gone, my life will soon be through,
I've got the Machine Gun Blues
I'm public enemy #1
I'm sorry for the things that I've done
If indeed we do cross path, it's nothing personal
And I’m already gone, I've left a trail of devastation,
I've got the Machine Gun Blues
I'm already gone, my life will soon be through,
I've got the Machine Gun Blues
Rock n´Roll..is back......thanks Social Distortion !!!!
as an ex gang member(MC), I love this song...live by the sword,die by the sword..many of my old friends did...
If this doesn't get you rockin'...your'e fuckin dead!!!
MrLespaul2000 Could not agree more
This is no music video. This is the shortest gangster movie with the best soundtrack ever made!
I gotta see social D before I die. 49 year old from Scotland living in So-Cal God bless So-Cal.
Springfield 1903! Very cool gun, I'm glad to see it get some respect.

I know this band because of my old english-class-book.

i heard that Black Veil Brides had said their new album would sound like Social Distortion meets Metallica, so I checked these guys out, and I gotta say I like what I hear :)
This is by far one of the best videos I've ever seen!!
Social D's the best!!!!
The 62 people who disliked this video suck. All I gotta say. This is a masterpiece as far as music videos go.
I got her because some dude said this dude was a super guitar player? He was a liar. Good video tho.
This song and Band, Jermey Alter and Anton Pardoe, What a treat
Production Designer, Philip Duffin, should get an award... also Costume Designer Kristin Anacker... DP Charles Papert... and of course, especially, Director Jeremy Alter... but one quesion... whose IDEA was this?
The best music video in history! See you in Italy in June!
OMG! This is way cool! I will be 44 this month. Been a fan of Social D's for nearly 30 years!!!! I can't believe it! I am going to see them when they come here to Tennessee on the 20th.
