Killer In The Village


Killer In The Village

There’s a killer in our village
And he’s not been brought to justice
He’s out there right now
Walking round a free man
Because no-one knows
About his guilty secret

There’s a killer in our village
He’s just an ordinary guy
With a wife and two children
He worries about his credit card
And his hefty mortgage
Perhaps the same as you and I

There’s a killer in our village
And everybody knows him
They see him down the pub
And he plays on all the local teams
They’ve been known to pat him on the back
When he makes a winning score

There’s a killer in our village
Who knows how to hit a target
He’s top gun at video games
With hand/ eye co-ordination
Being rated excellent
For a military job

There’s a killer in our village
Yet no-one’s in any fear
He drives over to the airbase
And he never misses any shift
Then he passes through security
And walks in to his bunker

There’s a killer in our village
But no-one’s after him
He gazes at his computer screen
And he’s never in much danger
He’s a pilot who stays at home
And flies the drones in Pakistan
