Add Your New Review About The Song The Reviews about Bang Bang Bang (page 1/1) ------ performed by Tracy Chapman about black america | Reviewer: anonomous | 10/27/09 This song is not about children emulating violence on television. The boy in this song is specifically young black men and about the rolls and choices blacks in America are forced to adopt. Lack or opportunity, lack or education- this is a song about White America against the black man. Lyrics like "what you gonna do? gonna give a boy a gun? Now there ain't nowhere to run to, there ain't no where to run." Is about limiting choices and throwing suspicion on him. Lyrics like " If there's no one else around, bang bang bang, we'll shoot him down." Is about doing just that, exterminating the problem when no one else can point the finger and say racist. Lyrics like " If he preys only on his neighbors Brothers sisters and friends We'll consider it a favor We'll consider justice done" Is about hoping blacks kill each other off. Bang bang Bang | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/30/08 Bang Bang Bang carries a very important message. That of the inadvertant breeding of violence. Give a child a gun and he will try to emulate his movie heroes. Think of movies like Rambo and others. I think the song is brilliantly written and performed just like the art of "imbono" in the Xhosa tradition. a good song | Reviewer: philipsys7@yahoo.com | 12/13/07 no doubt bang bang bang is a great song, tracy's depth never ceases to amaze me.we will miss the message if we think its just about guns, the message is simple "train up ur kids the right way cos u'll have to face whoever they become in the future" the best song ive ever heard | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/27/07 If you have not heard this song,then you must listen immeadiatly. It is the most powerful and modern song there is. The song relates to everyday life,talking about gun crime and how the children today are confused and peer pressured.I would say that this song is 10/10. I would recommeneded it should be listened to by everyone in the world. It is so good and TRUE to all extents Add Your New Review About The Song
