Feed the Machine

by Thom as Fred

about

Machines are running our lives more and more because we feed them. Particularly smart machines. This song is a light look at a heavy subject.

lyrics

The grand experiment takes place
Before our eyes
Never ones to wait
Only to be wise
Seeing all that was done
For church and state
You Gotta start wondering
If we’re just a little too late

Feed the machine
See how it eats
Pick your soul clean
Isn’t that neat?

The old environment it dies
With a weary gasp
Inhaling petrol
Exhale plastic wrap
Shoulda made strides
With our technology
Instead we’re inside
Weakening with screens

Feed the machine
See how it eats
Pick your soul clean
Isn’t that neat?

Feed the machine
See how it eats
Pick your soul clean
Isn’t that neat?

The buffoons run the zoo now
How does that look?
Idiots who can’t tie a bow
Leaving the brightest on the hook
Dividing all and sundry
Their job is done
Has to leave you wondering
What’s left for us?

Feed the machine
See how it eats
Pick your soul clean
Isn’t that neat?

Feed the machine
See how it eats
Pick your soul clean
Isn’t that neat?

Feed the machine
See how it eats
Pick your soul clean
Isn’t that neat?
