lyrics

The Machine (D G C)
I like the music
I like the sound it makes when you sing
I like the sound it makes when you hit the strings
I like the look it makes when your hair swings
I like to feel the unknowable things

we’re all trying to make sense of things
we’re trying to change things
we don’t want to be a part of the machine
that just eats your work
and ploughs over everything
we’d rather die
we’d rather die free
we’d rather die free daily
so fuck you, and fuck me

if it looks like we’re struggling
it only means it’s working
if it looks like we’re dying
you can tell how hard we’re trying
if we ever stop arguing
we probably need some reminding
of the blinding unending reasons for living
and I’ve got no time for giving in
I’ve got no time for playing
I’ve got no time for winning
I’ve got no time for serving and deserving
so I die free daily
so fuck you and fuck me

we’re all trying to make sense of things
we’re trying to change things
we don’t want to be a part of the machine
that just eats your work
and ploughs over everything
we’d rather die
we’d rather die free
we’d rather die free daily
so fuck you, and fuck me
