I sit up in my room at night Hold on to my pillow tight My dreams will be uninvited by something I don't know I hear these words in my mind I don't know who put them there, but they sure ain't mine Who's inside everyone's brain? Cause recently everybody's been acting all the same But now I know Who writes the songs? The machines do Who rights the wrongs? The machines do Who cuts the bonds? The machines do Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh How did they get inside my head? Making me feel so cold and dead Your thoughts being captured as well I'm locked in a trance, I'm under the spell A feel that has moved over me They're squeezing me tight There's never gonna let me breathe They take my heart and they rip it up Change it for a broken watch, and now my time is running out But now I know Who writes the songs? The machines do Who rights the wrongs? The machines do
Who cuts the bonds? The machines do Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I can feel the tic-tock when I turn my head I can feel the tic-tock when I lie in bed I can feel the tic-tock dancing in my brain I can feel the tic-tock running through my brain Oh when the tic-tock stops, yeah my body rocks I close my eyes, I get electric shocks I feel the metal there in my skin They're gonna win I am, I am, I am I am a machine I am, I am, I am I am a machine You're one of me, I'm one of them Say goodbye to the world, we're never gonna be the same again But now I know Who writes the songs? The machines do Who rights the wrongs? The machines do Who cuts the bonds? The machines do Who rights the wrongs? The machines do Who cuts the bonds? The machines do Who rights the wrongs? The machines do Who cuts the bonds? The machines do Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
