Lyrics
English: I am a product of a war machine, take me tonight if you will... / I've learned the way too well, left with nothing but with the knowledge / To kill, from the rooftop I see below...sons flee to and through / Silently, injected the needle of fear with the thought of metal raining / So near, maybe a mad man, a social reject...I'm performing what you / Have taught me, I am a product of a war machine, take me tonight... / The molded me into a firearms expert, and sent me a far country / For my work, I've wiped out so many...oh how to turn this thing off
