lyrics

You’re a slave to the machine
The great machine that provides
You give everything that you’ve got
You shed your sweat
For that’s what you’re taught

The status quo is all you’ve ever be
At least that’s what the machine wants you to think

They will vex - they’ll perplex you
They’ll suppress - they’ll depress you
They’ll provoke you - they’ll control you
They will buy - they will sell you

Please the machine
Don’t ask any questions
Only speak when you’re spoken to
Resistance is rebellion
That’s frowned upon and punished
Please the machine

Big corporations possess your soul
Before any demon can gain control
Once you speak and walk
It’s work you shall start
Outsourcing jobs elsewhere is state-of-the-art

You make the clothes
You make the computers
They’re not for you
But foreign consumers

Please the machine
Don’t ask any questions
Only speak when you’re spoken to
Resistance is rebellion
That’s frowned upon and punished
Please the machine
