Machines (or 'Back to Humans')

[Intro: Roger Taylor]

Machines, machines

Machines, machines

Machines machines

Machines, machines

[Verse 1: Freddie Mercury]

It's a machine's world

Don't tell me I ain't got no soul

When the machines take over

It ain't no place for rock 'n' roll

They tell me I don't care

But deep inside I'm just a man

[Chorus: Freddie Mercury]

They freeze me, they burn me

They squeeze me, they stress me

With smoke-blackened pistons

Of steel they compress me

But no one, but no one

But no one can wrest me away

Back to Humans

[Bridge: Roger Taylor]

We have no disease

No troubles of mind

We are fighting for peace

No regard for the time

We never cry, we never retreat

We have no conception

Of love or defeat

[Verse 2: Freddie Mercury]

What's that machine noise?

It's bytes and mega chips for tea

It's that Machine, boys

With random access memory

Never worry, never mind

Not for money, not for gold, yeah

[Chorus: Freddie Mercury]

It's software, its hardware

Its heartbeat, is time-share

It's midwife's, a disk drive

It's sex-life is quantized

It's self-perpetuating

A parahumanoidarianised

Back to Humans

Back to Humans

[Post-Chorus: Freddie Mercury]

Back to Machines

Machines, machines

Machines, machines

[Outro: Freddie Mercury]

Living in a new world

Thinking in the past (humans)

Living in a new world

How you gonna last? (humans)

Machine world

Yeah

Yeah

Change

It's a Machine's world, woo!

Yeah I'm coming!

Yeah, woo!

Back to Humans

Hey, yeah

Ha ha ha

Back to Humans

Living in a new world

How you gonna last?

Machine world

It's a Machine's world
