We are being conceived as gears

A machine's constructive parts

Consuming minimum expenses

While all these production lines run fast

We 're being conceived as numbers

She evaluates our worth

Then replaces broken parts

And the ones demanding more

We are the machine

We are the machine

This metallic beast is greedy

And she feasts upon her flesh

As we speak, she's getting stronger

As we sleep, she lays unrest

This machinery is toxic

Can't you see? We are her waste

Her disposable components

When she preys upon herself

We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat

I'm not gonna take this anymore!

We are the machine

And we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be

We are the machine

I'm a human being, god-dammit! My life has value!

We are the machine

I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not gonna take this anymore!

Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want

We are the machine

More than machinery we need humanity

and the power they took from the people will return to the people

We are the machine

Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts!

You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men!

We are the machine

You, the people have the power - the power to create machines.

You, the people, have the power to make this life a wonderful adventure

We are the machine

A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent

and says

We are the machine

Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds

We are the machine

I suppose we all thought that one way or another

We knew the world would not be the same

We are the machine

Run to the rescue with love, and peace will follow
