The Machine Lyrics


Oliver Malcolm The Machine

[Verse 1]
Teachers taught us money was the motive (Money was the motive)
I said, "Fuck that bitch," I'm floatin' (Floatin')
Off a tab, rah, I'm Coastin' (Coastin')
And I didn't take half, I took the whole thing
Escaping

[Chorus]
The machine
Life hard work, 'cause we all stuck in the machine (The machine)
The machine
Life, hard work, 'cause we all stuck in the machine (The machine)

[Verse 2]
Took their minds, so they don't dare to dream
(They don't dare to dream)
Took their voice, so they don't dare to scream
(They don't dare to scream)
Don't think they know what it really means
(Don't know what it means)
Busy filling buckets that are bottomless it seems

[Chorus]
The machine
Life hard work, 'cause we all stuck in the machine (The machine)
The machine
Life, hard work, 'cause we all stuck in the machine (The machine)

[Bridge]
You can try and fill them up, but they won't ever reach the brim
They'll set you up to sink before they teach you how to swim
They'll put green up on a stick you're just a puppet on a string
Make you think you're in control, you're just a part of the machine

[Chorus]
The machine
Life hard work, 'cause we all stuck in the machine (The machine)
The machine
Life, hard work, 'cause we all stuck in the machine (The machine)

[Outro]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
The machine
Life, hard work, 'cause we all stuck in the machine (The machine)
The machine
