Love (the) Machine

Love (the) Machine
They shoved us into the factory
where all their heroes are made
simplified all the structures
explained away all our pain
7 years held us empty
7 years held us blind
all these years of a worthless war
thinking we would believe it all
the subtle truth
is killing me
lies woven oh
so intricately
the poisons in
every word you said
to infect the hearts
of the common man

Controlling lives isn’t easy
It’s a disciplined game
forcefeeding the public
masking loss as a gain
Love the machine ‘cause it loves us
you always knew what was best
we’ll just cover our ears and cover our eyes
so you can murder the rest
The subtle truth
is killing me
lies woven oh
so intricately
the poisons in
every word you said
to infect the hearts
of the common man
(INSTRUMENTAL)
The subtle truth
is killing me
lies woven oh
so intricately
the poisons in
every word you said
to infect the hearts
of the common man
The subtle truth
is killing me
lies woven oh
so intricately
the poisons in
your every word
to infect our hearts
with your dreams absurd
