The American Machine

歌詞

[Intro: Jim Shaw] Whilst I've air in my lungs and words on my tongue I won't bow to no one [Verse 1: Hannah Mee, both] 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) [Chorus: Jim Shaw, both] You're half the world away And that's too fucking close to me The innocеnce decays They'vе taken everything [Post-Chorus: Jim Shaw] Whilst I've air in my lungs and words on my tongue I won't bow to no one [Verse 2: Hannah Mee, both] 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 [Chorus: Jim Shaw, both] 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 [Interlude] 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 [Bridge: Hannah Mee, Jim Shaw, both] 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 [Chorus: Jim Shaw, both] 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 [Outro: Jim Shaw] 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
