Lyrics
Second-Rate Machines
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Try and plant a tree
On top of a computer
That's not happening
What's really alive
And what has to be
Turned on (Turned on)
By somebody
GIVEN
The effort it
Takes to learn from
Rather lean on it and
Form a religion
Around it
Living things
HELP EACH OTHER LIVE!
Something you need
Might be something
I can't
give.
