lyrics

Watching and waiting we wait all our days
Hoping for someone to show us a way
To fill our lives with the things we'd like to get
(Without taking a chance)
Without facing the threat

And when our half-hearted plans go amiss
Who do you think we will blame for all this?
To save our minds from the darkest abyss
Our part will dismiss

The machine, the machine
Will catch you and drag you along
'til we all sing one terrible song of
"I have to, I have to, I can't make no choices you see"
The fault is not mine, no, it's all down to them
Poor, little old me
The machine

Now I'm sure we believe all that falls from our tongues
But playing pretend isn't just for the young
The more that we say it, the more true it seems
This big, bad world is just so cruel to me

And as we proclaim no-one will contradict
Afraid of what sort of harm we'll inflict
If we realize we've all slightly been tricked to think this is what we picked

And all hopes will fade as we wait for a sign
Losing our dreams in the heat of our prime
It's sad to think we will tell only in time if we can grow spines
(Grow a spine)

The machine, the machine
Will catch you and drag you along
'til we all sing one terrible song of
"I have to, I have to, I can't make no choices you see"
The fault is not mine, no, it's all down to them
Poor, little old me
Poor, little old me
Poor, little old me, poor, little old me
The machine
