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 children
Worrying 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 his name
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 computer games
With hand/ eye co-ordination
Second-to-none, rated excellent
For a special military job

There’s a killer in our village
Yet no-one lives in any fear
He drives over to the airbase
And he works his every shift
Then he passes through security
And descends in to his bunker

There’s a killer in our village
But no-one’s after him
He peers into his monitor
Yet he’s never in any danger
A pilot who always stays at home
And flies the drones in Afghanistan
