badflower – machine gun lyrics
[verse 1]
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
[chorus]
this is how the world is
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
[verse 2]
that’s just what they told me, “son, you could be a patriot”
defеnder of your country, protector of the innocеnt
we’ll beat ’em with a clenched fist by order of your government
they said we were the good guys, but what if we’re the terrorists?
[chorus]
this is how the world is
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
[instrumental bridge]
[chorus]
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 sh+t
the treatment for my sh+ll shock (yeah, yeah)
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
[outro]
maybe i don’t know a d+mn thing
i’ve never been through anything
this is all i can be
a voice for someone else’s grief
he fired that machine gun
she never meant to hurt no one
’cause once you leave a headstone
you never really make it home
