Mel Botes – The Machine lyrics

Listen sons and daughters
of this holy civil land
I have come here for forgiveness
I have come to shake your hand
You’ve been questioned by religion
In these pleasures that you seek
I’ve seduced your fragile infants
with this voice that cannot speak

Now I understand emotion
I can read into your soul
I am trusted by your young minds
I have come to take control

I am driven by obsession
by this guided human hand
I will lose you in my network
but you’ll never understand

This is the machine!
This is the machine!
I don't even hear you when your people start to scream
This is the machine!
This is the machine!
I can only reach you when I go inside your dream

Now our young men have been tortured
and our women have been raped
you have screwed this system badly
and somehow managed to escape

I have three six digit implants
to destroy your human race
come caress my sleeky keyboard
come and lick my interface

The machine’s eating itself away
It’s killing us this way
