World Machine

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

Some folks try to multiply

From sunrise to sunset

Leave behind more of their kind

So no one will forget

[Pre-Chorus]

But that ain't where

I'm coming from

Today

Those easy girls

Don't turn me on

Anyway

I wanna know

Where my pride has gone

The party's over

[Chorus]

Caught in a dream

Inside this world machine

[Verse 2]

Teachers teach and preachers preach

Of spiritual evolution

But this big I am from uncle sham

Just adds to my confusion

[Pre-Chorus]

I've seen his face

I've heard his song

Before

But I don't care

What time he's on

Anymore

I must have been

On the streets too long

The party's over

[Chorus]

Caught in a dream

Inside this world machine

[Bridge]

I find myself outside your door

Trying to make it like before

But you don't follow what I say

And I can tell by the smile

You're no longer a child

That part of you was buried yesterday

Who knows

Why they come and where they go

In this world machine?

[Verse 3]

It's the chosen fools who make the rules

That don't apply to me

With their fast-car games and counter claims

Not my reality

[Pre-Chorus]

And I don't know

If I belong

Today

I don't know why

My friends have gone

Away

I must have been

On the streets too long

[Chorus]

The party's over

Caught in a dream

Inside this world machine

World machine

World machine

[Outro]

Don't knock the system

We'll knock some sense in you

Can't beat the system

There's nothing you can do

Don't knock the system

We'll knock some sense in you

Can't beat the system

There's nothing you can do
