Born in the Machine

Born in the machine
You never knew the aor
before it was the gunk that
fills your lungs now.

You're just another face
abhor the human race
digging deep another day
so you can will your life away

It's always been the same
for as long as you could play the game
always an arms reach away.

and behold the "gentlemen"
setting rules for "free-er" men
in their prisons made of greed
and words of faceless men they heed -

(CH)
Watch out!
Hold tight!
'Cause the machine is set to 'act your age' and you are in it's sights
Watch out!
Hold tight!
Once you realise that you arent free the Man will try and set you back.

Born in the machine
You dont even see the box
or the line that you wont question
cause you've learnt to fear the costs

Try to make ends meet
forget that person on the street
its 'all for one' not 'one for many'
Can't spare a dime - Wont spare a penny

But you'll pay your tax on time
to the Man who'll use your dime
to screw you over for a living
without question or misgiving

You get up and go to work
check your watch and clean and jerk
Swallow down the rat race that's a given
wasted dreams will be forgiven

(CH)

(Br)
Who counts your blessings?
Who counts your sins?
Sit down. Be quiet.
Now, lets begin (x2)
