The Machine's Breaking Down

Proven patterns breaking down

All controls gone underground

We should have never come to this

Yet here we stand

Devoid of optimists



The machine's breaking down

The machine's breaking down

The machine's breaking down

We set the wheels in motion

Now we're caught in the commotion

The machine's breaking down



Lebanon, iraq, iran

Ethiopia and afghanistan

Religion and politics, plunder and rape

While the weak cow down

And pray for escape



The machine's breaking down

The machine's breaking down

The machine's breaking down

We set the wheels in motion

Now we're caught in the commotion

The machine's breaking down



Addicts bent on self-destruction

A billion dollars for the masters of seduction

Despair and hope go hand in hand

Charting the inevitable course of man

Bloody images bounce off the wall

As the satellite pictures tell it all

While common goals and common ground

Disappear as the world breaks down



The machine's breaking down

The machine's breaking down

The machine's breaking down

We set the wheels in motion

Now we're caught in the commotion

The machine's breaking down



The machine's breaking down

The machine's breaking down

The machine's breaking down

The machine's breaking down

(repeat to fade)
