Not Good For The Mechanism
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.
It's not good
It seems bad
Just say no no never again
Stop lying, mind your manners
Out ???
Not good for the mechanism
When you ???
Please be careful
It's too hard on my heart
Just get completely out of my sight
Stop taking bad advice
It turns ???
Not good for the mechanism
Not good for the mechanism
When you ???
Follow the truck
When you ???
Follow the truck
Please be careful
Please be careful
