I wouldnt kill to win a war
I dont get what they do it for
Its all so terribly vague
I see the pictures from a thousand years of battle
And I think its such a bore
I walk New Orleans with a knife
Like Mackie hidden out of sight
But Id be useless if they jumped
Im really not the killing type
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Im not the killing type
Im not the killing type
Im not, Im not
Im not the killing type, Im not
Ive got a picture of your mum
Before the war when she was young
Shes got an etching to her right
I think its funny that shes looking to the left
And its her son
I wouldnt kill to get you back
And Ive officially been asked
I couldnt kill to save a life
Id rather a die a peaceful piece of shit-bait
Shame-filled coward
Thanks
Im not the killing type
Im not the killing type
Im not, Im not
Im not the killing type, Im not
But I would kill to make you feel
I dont mean kill someone for real
I couldnt do that, it is wrong
But I can say it in a song, a song, a song
And Im saying it now
Im saying it so
Even if you never hear this song
Somebody else would know
Im saying it now
Im saying it so
Even if you never hear this song
Somebody else will know, know, know, know
I just cant explain how good it feels
I just cant explain how good it feels
I just cant explain how good it feels
I just cant describe
I once stepped on a dying bird
It was a mercy killing
I couldnt sleep for a week
I kept feeling its breaking bones
I heard that if you see a star at night
And the conditions are just right
And you are standing on a cliff
Then you can close your eyes
And make a wish and take a step
And change somebodys life
Im not the killing type
Im not the killing type
Im not, Im not
Im not the killing type, Im not
But I would kill to make you feel
Id kill to move your face an inch
I see you staring into space
I wanna stick my fist into your mouth
And twist your Arctic heart
Yes, I would kill to make you feel
I dont mean kill someone for real
I couldnt do that, it is wrong
But I can say it in a song, a song, a song
And Im saying it now
Im saying it so
Even if you never hear this song
Somebody else would know
Im saying it now
Im saying it so
Even if you never hear this song
Somebody else will know, know, know, know
I just cant explain how good it feels
I just cant explain how good it feels
I just cant explain how good it feels
I just cant describe-ibe-ibe-ibe
Die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die
Im not the killing type
