Killing Machine Lyrics

The army has taught me a lot about life
I know now that everything will always be right
With everybody’s notions of what I am
Cause they don’t know

And they don’t see
That I am
A man
Yes I am
I’m a one man killing machine

Right hand it contains an M16
The other hand it contains fresh canteen
I can go out there and do what I please
If they would let me then they would see

That I am
A man
Yes I am
I’m a one man killing machine

Doesn’t mean
That what they say say say
It’s all right
What they say say say
Don’t believe what they say say say
It’s all lies what they say say say
Don’t believe what they say say say
It’s all lies what they say say say
Don’t believe a word they say say say
It’s all right what I say

The army has taught me a lot about life

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Aside from the initial meaning, I think there is supposed to be a bit of irony. ex: "I am a one man killing machine" ... "the army has taught me a lot about life"
