LYRICS

Uncle Sam said that he would pay for school if I enlist

All I have to do is go overseas and take out the enemies on his list

And so I am separated from myself, separated from who I really am

They paint this picture of a war and say “enemy combatants” like it’s “US against them”

But I still pick up my sniper rifle and my flak jacket Cuz I’m ready to ship out

And if the world needs a reminder they’re gonna get it cuz the corp is gonna show ’em what it’s about…

Because
I’m a killing machine x 4
Every morning I arose to a scorching sun and hot blazing sands

And all my brothers in the corps seem to think that we’ve arrived in a God-forsaken land

Well maybe that’s because our smart bombs are killing families there’s so much blood on our hands

And some seem to believe that we are the new terrorist regime cuz it comes from the chain of command

But I still do it because
I’m a killing machine x 4
I’ve never stood alone
Out on the battle field
Though sometimes I wish it was a bad dream
I know it is surreal (so surreal)

I’m a killing machine

So now I’m back state-side tryin’ to get a little rest and some peace (yeah right)

Cuz even though my body’s home my mind and soul are still stuck out in the Middle-East

And my psychiatrist he tells me that I’m suffering from something they call P.T.S.D.

But I insist right now as I always will that there aint nothing wrong with me

Cuz don’t you remember it was I who signed those papers and I did so voluntarily

So even though the corps has honed my skills I really believe that I always was and I will always be

Just a killing machine
Oh no x 4
