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’m not i’m not
 i’m not the killing type i’m not

 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 [bad word] bait shame-filled coward
 thanks
 i’m not the killing type
 i’m not the killing type
 i’m not i’m not
 i’m not the killing type i’m not

 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
 i’m not i’m not
 i’m not the killing type i’m not

 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 ibe
