One of the 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.
I couldn't wait for it to be finally over
They're gonna turn me back to stone
It doesn't mean that much to me
It's an illusion
I'll be on board the train for home
I can tell you what it means to be
Just one of the machines
But I can't tell you what it means to me
I'm just one of the machines
This is the new theology
The building of empires
It's gonna turn your heart to stone
They brought me to the factory
The silicon bonfire
So out of date this flesh and bone
I can tell you what it means to be
Just one of the machines
But I can't tell you what it means to me
I'm just one of the machines
Oh I can tell you what it means to be
Just one of the machines
But I can't tell you what it means to me
I'm just one of the machines
