An ex-soldiers tale about the reality of war.

lyrics

Killing Machine

Took my arms
Took my legs
Took my body
Took my head
Work them 'til they are hard and lean
Forging them into a Killing Machine

Killing Machine
Killing Machine
Killing Machine

Washed my brains
Twisted my psyche
Stole my soul
Bent my mind
Sent me on some hero's dream
A deadly chip on the Killing Machine

Killing Machine
Killing Machine
Killing Machine

Now I've seen men with bodies on fire
A bullet hole through a baby's eye
My best friends brains across my shirt
Heard the dead screaming from the desert dirt
I've seen raw flesh quiver in pain
The sun erased by black rain
While at home the radio sang...

'It's up to you not to hear the callup
'You must not act the way you were brought up
'Don't you know this just aint the same
'As messing around on Salisbury Plain

I said WAR!
What is it good for? Nothin'
I said WAR!
What is it good for? Nothin'
Nothing from nothing leaves nothing
Nothing from nothing means nothing
We gotta have something
We gotta have peace

Kinfolk watch newscasts
Tears tea and telly
A front row seat in hell
Stench turns my guts to jelly
An eye witness to what was never seen on screen
At the business end of the Killing Machine

Killing Machine
Killing Machine
Killing Machine
