You were careless from the start I listen to voices of the d**h machine Important, important, important Listen to me I have no no ammunition when they come to me Oh wake me, just wake me, please wake me from this stupor My quiet ambition takes refuge from the weight of the world These are the voices of progress But I keep on falling behind These are the voices that lead us But I am deaf and I am blind And I have a secret that I don't think I'll keep anymore But you're keeping all my confessions strictly under control I'm running from voices of the d**h machine Resistance, resistance, resistance I can't hear you I have no real ambition, how I laugh at you I call myself carefree I'm a liability I call myself different But I'm just the same you see You are the voices of progress But I keep on falling behind You are the voices that lead us But I am deaf and I am blind And I have a secret that I don't think I'll keep anymore But you're keeping all my confessions under constant control I have a secret that I don't think I'll keep anymore But you're keeping all my confessions strictly under control You were careless from the start I could tell we stood apart You were careless from the start To let me think I could take part I have a secret that I don't think I'll keep anymore But you're keeping all my confessions under constant control
