lyrics

When I was a young man
'Bout the age of 9
Men came and took me
said "you'll never die!"

put me in a blue liquid
was impossible to see
there I slept for 9 long years
when I woke I wasn't me

I was just-

A Killing machine,
know what I mean?
A Killing machine,
turning red into green

Tried to walk; started to run
My captors lives
would soon be done

Moved like a knife
No one could hear me breathe
snapping necks, not cashing checks, destruction filled my greed

Now I'm a-

Killing machine,
turning red into green,
Killing machine,
know what I mean?

come on, come on, come

break it down for me now

oooo, ooooo, oooo, ooo
oooo, ooooo, oooo, ooo
oooo, ooooo, oooo, ooo

YEAH!
