You're born you're naked crying and your life starts running out
There's nothing to relate to as you blindly... Flail about
A blank canvas to write upon your parents start to teach
You imitate Pavlovian, a parasite... A leech
You get to school subjected to the thinking of the day
They mould you into human form, take your free will away
The lessons they inflict on you at school and in your home
Another cog in the life machine, another fucking drone
Time is ticking, you are dying
I am watching Life Machines
You get a job and slave away, you rise up in the ranks
You find a wife a house a car a mortgage from the bank
You have some kids and start again the ever-turning wheel
And then you're gone a memory a loss someone might feel
Time is ticking, you are dying
I am watching Life Machines
And all for what? The things we have? The rubbish we collect?
The things to kill what time we have? Distractions from death?
The knowledge we accumulate, fades with body heat?
A cold relentless entropy corrodes the life machine
