I wouldn't kill to win a war
I don't get what they do it for
It's all so terribly vague
I see the pictures from a thousand years of battle
And I think it's such a bore
I walk New Orleans with a knife
Like Mackie hidden out of sight
But I'd be useless if they jumped
I'm really not the killing type
I'm not the killing type
I'm not the killing type
I've got a picture of your mum
Before the war when she was young
She's got an etching to her right
I think it's funny that she's looking to the left and it's her son
I wouldn't kill to get you back
And I've officially been asked
I couldn't kill to save a life
I'd rather die a peaceful piece of shit-bait, shame-filled coward, thanks
I'm not the killing type
I'm not the killing type
But I would kill to make you feel
I don't mean kill someone for real
I couldn't do that, it is wrong
But I can say it in a song, a song, a song
And I'm saying it NOW
I'm saying it SO
Even if you never hear this song, somebody else would know
I'm saying it NOW
I'm saying it SO
Even if you never hear this song, somebody else will know, know, know, know
I just can't explain how good it feels
I just can't explain how good it feels
I just can't explain how good it feels
I just can't describe
I once stepped on a dying bird
It was a mercy killing, I couldn't 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 somebody's life
I'm not the killing type
I'm not the killing type
But I would kill to make you feel
I'd 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 don't mean kill someone for real
I couldn't do that, it is wrong
But I can say it in a song, a song, a song
And I'm saying it NOW
I'm saying it SO
Even if you never hear this song, somebody else would know
I'm saying it NOW
I'm saying it SO
Even if you never hear this song, somebody else would know, know, know, know
I just can't explain how good it feels
I just can't explain how good it feels
I just can't explain how good it feels
I just can't describe, -ibe, -ibe

I'm not the killing type
