The American Machine

WHILST THERE'S AIR IN MY LUNGS AND WORDS ON MY TONGUE I WON'T BOW TO NO-ONE This is the death of the voice of all reason Now the shit show's renewed for four seasons We always rinse and repeat, aren't ya bored of this? Believing the lies of a masochist Sending love from DC to the Middle East With a kiss and a hug and an F15 We always rinse and repeat, aren't ya bored of this? So sign the death certificate You're half the world away And that's too fuckin' close to me The innocence decays They've taken everything WHILST I'VE AIR IN MY LUNGS AND WORDS ON MY TONGUE I WON'T BOW TO NO-ONE I heard the whispers now, and they're coming alive The refraction of words that alchemise Yeh we rinse and repeat, aren't ya bored of this? Yeh I'm really fuckin' bored of this Coz the opioids got them hypnotized Don't you wonder how they sleep at night The delusions confusing I'm watching them using Big pharma's colluding to globalize You're half the world away And that's too fuckin close to me The innocence decays They've taken everything STAY AWAY FROM ME AMERICAN MACHINE STAY AWAY FROM ME I'M BEGGING YOU PLEASE As we move closer to a revolution of hope The thread is broken And a reign of terror betrays us Self-determination is displaced And we slip further into the chokehold of tyranny Is this the end of history? Or the downfall of humanity? Watch the suffering on tiny screens Pretend it's not reality Is this the end of history? Or the downfall of humanity? Please hold me I can't compete with the heartless Reject their hold I won't give them control Reject their hold I won't give them control You're half the world away And that's too fuckin close to me The innocence decays They've taken everything STAY AWAY FROM ME AMERICAN MACHINE STAY AWAY FROM ME They've taken everything WHILST I'VE AIR IN MY LUNGS AND WORDS ON MY TONGUE I WON'T BOW TO NO-ONE REJECT THEIR HOLD I WON'T GIVE THEM CONTROL WHILST I'VE AIR IN MY LUNGS AND WORDS ON MY TONGUE I WON'T BOW TO NO-ONE
