The American Machine

Whilst I’ve air in my lungs

And words on my tongue

I won’t bow to no one

This is the death of the voice of all reason

Now the shit show’s renewed for four seasons

We always rinse and repeat

Are you bored of this?

Believing the lies of a masochist

Sending love from DC to the Middle East

With a kiss and a hug and an F15

We always rinse and repeat

Are you bored of this?

So sign the death certificate

(Bombs away)

You’re half the world away

And that’s too fucking close to me

The innocence decays

They’ve taken everything

Whilst I’ve air in my lungs

And words on my tongue

I won’t bow to no one

I heard the whispers now, and they’re coming alive

The refraction of words that alchemise

Yeah, we rinse and repeat

Are you bored of this?

Yeah, I’m really fucking bored of this

'Cause the opioids got them hypnotized

Don’t you wonder how they sleep at night?

The delusions confusing, I'm watching them using

Big pharma's colluding to globalize

You’re half the world away

And that’s too fucking close to me

The innocence decays

They’ve taken everything

Stay away from me

American machine

Stay away from me

I'm begging you please

As we move closer to a revolution of hope

The thread is broken

And a reign of terror betrays us

Self-determination is displaced

And we slip further into the chokehold of tyranny

Is this the end of history?

Or the downfall of humanity?

Watch the suffering on tiny screens

Pretend it’s not reality

Is this the end of history?

Or the downfall of humanity?

Please hold me I can’t compete with the heartless

[Breakdown: Jim Shaw and Hannah Mee] Reject their hold

I won’t give them control

Reject their hold

I won’t give them control

You’re half the world away

And that’s too fucking close to me

The innocence decays

They’ve taken everything

Stay away from me

American machine

Stay away from me

They’ve taken everything

Whilst I’ve air in my lungs

And words on my tongue

I won’t bow to no one

Reject their hold

I won’t give them control

Whilst I’ve air in my lungs

And words on my tongue

I won’t bow to no one
