The American Machine

WHILST THERE'S 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, aren't ya 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, aren't ya bored of this?
So sign the death certificate

You're half the world away
And that's too fuckin' 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
Yeh we rinse and repeat, aren't ya bored of this?
Yeh I'm really fuckin' bored of this
Coz 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 fuckin 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

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 fuckin 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
