Street Machine

Skull and bones

Etched into your eyes

You never know

Who'll be first

Or the last to die

Life touches you

In the strangest ways

You're swallowed whole

Behind that empty gaze

One more shot, one more rip

It's time to let life go

Just one more moment to snap

Out of this horror show

But now you've left

A stain inside their hearts

The acts of a selfish mind

Tore their world apart

Like father, like son

Your life had just begun

Take heed on what your mother said

Someday you'll be someone

But it's the land of the free

Oh say can you see

Choke your rights through the lungs

Feed the Street Machine

The Street Machine

Can't fight back the winter

Shooting dreams into your veins

Ignoring facts of life

Prepare to drag the chains

It's worth it for the kill

Go on and shoot the thrill

Your body aches to fire at will

Like mother like daughter

You're sentenced to the slaughter

Claw the worms out of your skin

This is what you taught her

But it's the land of the free

Oh say can you see

Choke the right through the lungs

Feed the Street Machine

The Street Machine

Can't fight back the winter
