Promoe (Looptroop) - The Machine lyrics

[Verse 1] Last night in my bed I had a dream We got fed to a machine Could have sworn it was for real like I saw it on a screen Like I almost heard the screams Keep on calling out for mercy Getting slaughtered in their teens The Machine runs on oil and ambition A sense of duty in the [? 1:16] traditions It runs on blood and the usual business It runs on pride and on fools making wishes Eagles were liberal Worldviews worked To convince you of a virtue Of fulfilling their purpose Pushing people over the edge and celebrate That they're the last ones to fall into the firmness [Chorus] You're rising for a fall Working hard, achieving nothin' at all Put your head up in the clouds And feel you're never coming down The Machine eventually will get us all You're rising for a fall Working hard, achieving nothin' at all Put your stomach in the night And your back against the wall The Machine eventually will get us all [Verse 2] I'm gettin' a short glimpse of a perfect life But within reachin' it, it fares as the perfect lie Always one step behind Mind control by the lords Twenty four seven needing the souls from the hordes The Machine pierces down into pieces The message is loud and clear "Follow the leaders" And we close styles for livin' in denial It's for the best Fun to watch the finish line With there is no f**ing rest [Hook] No f**ing rest The Machine won't take a break And if you try to slow it down or protest The Machine runs at your face It's due to growth and to full employment The Machine won't take a break But if we stop to destroy what destroys us The Machine gon' have to break [Verse 3] The Machine has to mark getting wizkids Kicking a**, day and night, so addictive Proper counts, unthinkable amounts In the budget, make us love it Keeps us loyal no doubt Showing us images of what we can become Make us think we separated Can't relate to anyone In a made up competition Beat neighbors into submission For a chance to get ahead In a race that cannot be won [Chorus] You're rising for a fall Working hard, achieving nothin' at all Put your head up in the clouds And feel you're never coming down The Machine eventually will get us all You're rising for a fall Working hard, achieving nothin' at all Put your stomach in the night And your back against the wall The Machine eventually will get us all
