Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I don't know, because she says so

He's a faggot boy, the TV says so

He's a junkie piece of shit because he says so

[Verse 2]

All that first-class jet set brings me down, down, down

All that first-class drug shit brings me down, down, down

[Verse 3]

It's a big machine, it's a big machine

We're all slaves to a big machine

It's a big machine, it's a big machine

We're all slaves to a big machine

All tied up to a big machine

I got houses, got cars

I got a wife, I got kids

Got money in the bank

[Verse 4]

Get away without borders

I'm a slave, New World Order

I guess I chose to be, I guess I chose to be

I guess I chose to be, I guess I chose to be

[Verse 5]

All that first-class jet set brings me down, down, down

All that first-class drug shit brings me down, down, down

[Verse 6]

It's a big machine, it's a big machine

We're all slaves to a big machine

It's a big machine, it's a big machine

We're all slaves to a big machine

All tied up to a big machine

I got houses, got cars

I got a wife, I got kids

Got money in the bank

[Verse 7]

Hope I teach my son how to be a man

Now, before he hits thirty-five

Comic book lives don't really happen in real life, do they, now?

[Verse 8]

Hope I teach my son how to be a man

Now, before he hits thirty-five

Comic book lives don't really happen in real life, do they, now?

[Verse 9]

I don't know, because she says so

He's a faggot boy, the TV says so

He's a junkie piece of shit because he says so

[Verse 10]

All that first-class jet set brings me down, down, down

All that first-class drug shit brings me down, down, down

[Verse 11]

It's a big machine, it's a big machine

We're all slaves to a big machine

It's a big machine, it's a big machine

We're all slaves to a big machine

All tied up to a big machine

I got houses, got cars

I got a wife, I got kids

Got money in the bank

[Verse 12]

We're all slaves to a big machine

We're all slaves to a big machine

We're all slaves to a big machine

We're all slaves to a big machine

[Verse 13]

It's a big machine, it's a big machine

We're all slaves to a big machine

It's a big machine, it's a big machine

We're all slaves to a big machine

[Verse 14]

All tied up to a big machine

I got houses, got cars

I got a wife, I got kids

Got money in the bank
