Programmed to Kill - The Mos (Cover) @HistoryHomosPod

[Verse 1] Well the headlines cry “lone wolf,” and the cameras zoom in tight But the story’s got more edits than a movie shot at night He don’t flinch, he don’t blink, he just stares on still— He don’t flinch, he don’t blink, he just stares on still— Might be crazy… or just programmed to kill [Verse 2] Now you know the names, don’t pretend you don’t McVeigh, Bundy, Oswald — yeah, they all took the oath But somewhere in the margin, someone footed the bill And the devil wears a lanyard when he’s programmed to kill [Chorus] It ain’t voodoo, baby, it’s science and steel A dose of dissociation, and a psyche to peel From Haight Street to Quantico, they’re sharpening the drill You don’t make a monster — You program it to kill [Verse 3] Chapman heard the voices, Sirhan saw a light Hinckley had a playlist and a Bush on speed dial that night Dahmer had his freezer, Gacy had his crawlspace still— But the real architects? Never wrote their will [solo] [Bridge] There’s a classroom in Langley with no chalk and no board Just needles, tapes, and trauma — and an oath you can’t afford You break a boy in pieces, you shape a man by thrill You don’t raise a killer — You program him to kill [Verse 4] Manson danced in acid rain, Berkowitz saw flames Lucas made confessions like a jukebox spittin’ names Zodiac drew ciphers, while the feds stood still— And the cameras cut away when it fit the bill [Chorus] It’s a circus in the psyche, and the clowns wear suits Got trauma for the roots, and orders in the boots Just follow the silence, past the windowsill Where the real ones are hiding who were programmed to kill [Outro] So if the TV says he snapped, take it with a grain There’s a puppet with a badge just tugging at the chain ’Cause when the spell is broken and the blood won’t chill… You might find the truth Was programmed to kill
