[Verse 1]
Was that a dream? I'm awake
Sitting on the forest floor
Looking out
Can't recall the thing I used to be before

[Pre-Chorus]
I may be rust and steel
But there's simply no denying that I feel

[Chorus]
I don't wanna be a war machine
All the death and the pain, the guns and the ammo
I don't wanna be a war machine
I don't wanna turn back into what I've been
I don't wanna be a war machine
I am hard on the shell, but inside I am hollow
I don't wanna be a war machine
I don't wanna be a war machine

[Verse 2]
Being watched, without fear
Can I make my code extend?
New career
Could it be that I have met this thing called ”friend”
[Pre-Chorus]
I may be rust and steel
But there's simply no denying that I feel

[Chorus]
I don't wanna be a war machine
All the death and the pain, the guns and the ammo
I don't wanna be a war machine
I don't wanna turn back into what I've been
I don't wanna be a war machine
I am hard on the shell, but inside I am hollow
I don't wanna be a war machine
I don't wanna be a war machine

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I don't wanna be a war machine
All the death and the pain, the guns and the ammo
I don't wanna be a war machine
I don't wanna turn back into what I've been
I don't wanna be a war machine
I am hard on the shell, but inside I am hollow
I don't wanna be a war machine
I don't wanna be a war machine
