Machine Gun

de Badflower

That's just what they told me: You could be a patriot
Don’t you love your country? Don't you wanna die for it?
How could they enlist me? I was only 17
It's better to be thankful than challenge their authority

This is how the world ends, this is how they suck you in
Manipulate the broken to suffer every consequence

They gave me a machine gun
But I don’t wanna hurt no one
There's nothing here to fight for
This is someone else's war

That's just what they told me: Son you could be a patriot
Dеfender of your country, protector of thе innocent
We'll beat them with a clenched fist by order of your government
They said we were the good guys but what if we're the terrorists?

This is how the world ends, this is how they suck you in
Manipulate the broken to suffer every consequence

They gave me a machine gun
But I don't wanna hurt no one
There's nothing here to fight for
This is someone else’s war

This is how the world ends
This is how they suck you in
Manipulate the broken
To suffer every consequence

I'm only a statistic
And no one even gives a shit
The treatment for my shell shock
Yeah, they won't even pay for it

I fired that machine gun
I never meant to hurt no one
And as my friends and foes bleed
We satisfy a rich man’s greed

Maybe I don't know a damn thing
I've never been through anything
This is all I can be
A voice for someone else's grief

He fired that machine
She never meant to hurt no one
Cause once you leave a headstone
You never really make it home
