lyrics

Machine guns
Are comin to take take me home
Machine guns
Will comfort me
Will keep me warm when I'm alone
Machine guns
I know they're comin for me
Machine guns
Cover me like a blanket
And I'll sleep sound tonight

I'll make my bed amongst the rocks
And sing my favorite song one last time
A lullalbye that really doesn't matter
To machine guns


I won't be your universal soldier
I won't be a sacrificial lamb
I'll fight to succeed and I'll fight to be free
But I won' t fight in lands across the sea
I won't be your universal soldier


Machine guns
Are pulling pulling the curtains closed
Machine guns
Will kiss my head
Will close the door when I have dozed
Machine guns
I know they're never far from me
Machine guns
Dim the lights
Till I can't see

I'll make my bed upon these bodies
And dream my favorite dream one last time
A fairytale about a place that has no
Machine guns


I won't be your universal soldier
I won't be a sacrificial lamb
I'll fight to succeed and I'll fight to be free
But I won' t fight in lands across the sea
I won't be your universal soldier
