Killing Machines Lyrics

Metal rains on window panes

And the sky came tumbling down

Mothers cried as they said their goodbyes

And the fathers were told to be proud

The day they turned eighteen

They all became killing machines

Stuck a knife in the other eye

And left the whole world blind

Sent them searching across the globe

They wouldn't know what to find

All the youth cast off the truth

And died for what sounded like peace

A neat folded flag with their son in a bag

Meant to put the family at ease

The day they turned eighteen

They all became killing machines

Stuck a knife in the other eye

And left the whole world blind

Sent them searching across the globe

They wouldn't know what to find

The young serve they old because they've been told

They wouldn't know where to begin

We're right and they're wrong, if you kill you'll be strong

You'll live your life without sin

The day they turned eighteen

They all became killing machines

Stuck a knife in the other eye

And left the whole world blind

Sent them searching across the globe

They wouldn't know what to find

No, they wouldn't know what to find

The rest got left behind
