The machine is inside your brain
Blurring your view like a windowpane
The machine leaves no stone unturned
Its lessons must be learned
You cannot run
You cannot hide
The machine knows you inside out
And everything you care about
The machine gets you while you’re young
Before your life’s begun
You cannot run
You cannot hide
You cannot run
You cannot hide
The machine tricks your mind
Covers your eyes with dirty wool
Yes sir, no sir, three bags full
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But false prophets paint in darker tones
Left or right
Black or white
And nothing in between
Nothing that can’t be seen
Keep your head down
Look straight ahead
Watch your ‘P’s and ‘Q’s
And each your daily bread
Oh….
The machine stops you in your tracks
Knocks you to your feet and breaks your back
The machine is everywhere at once
Breeding a world of vicious grunts
The machine takes no prisoners
From the peasants to the emperors
The machine haunts you to the grave
You’re never ever gonna be saved
You cannot run
You cannot hide
You cannot run
You cannot hide
You cannot run
