Killing Machine

Leaving your wife and family.

Killing machine,
You are but a man,
Trained and in the Army.

Soldier man,
Your not a machine,
But the keeper of my freedom.

the whole truth and nothing but,
I really can't believe you,
I've got to have some proof.

How could you go and do this,
You said you'd never hurt me,
Was that just another lie?
Because you've gone and made me cry.

I think you'll find that in this life,
You'll find two different sorts,
There ones that tell the truth
and ones that always lie.
