(V)

A thousand years of manipulation

this is your sacrifice

Before you fall back into temptation

you better think t through twice

It's the sound if the mass production

it's a game you just can't win

Keeping you in complete subjection

starting over and over again

It's delusions and dreams

as you become the machine

(CH)

Tryin' to hold back the stranger within

can not escape the machine

Thin is the line between law and desire

can not escape the machine

(V)

This is the final retribution

staring you back in your eyes

A never-ending repetition

you can not identify

Syncopated-automated

movin' down the assembly line

Same mistakes replicated

you trade away your simple life
