Where Is The Machine

Lyrics

We've got machines we invent and learn how to build That can stir the cement for giant holes to be filled With a balance of minerals, liquids and anthracites Through trial and error at a particular Fahrenheit So why can't there be Some kind of mighty machine To fight feelings, they're just feelings We got blueprints for rockets that defeat gravitation With combustion hydraulics and discrete calculation Of where the Kármán line snaps and the sound wave convulses To blast through gaps in the armor of the magnetic pulses Like a fist through a screen So where is this machine To fight feelings, they're just little feelings In boxes and tubes, we fight the cold and the heat With square numbers and cubes to decisive defeat Setting digital dials in fractions each can agree on In hot orange spirals or in wintergreen freon Spewing atoms or ice But where do they have the device That fights feelings, they're just stupid feelings Just as the Grand Coulee Dam merely begun as a dream One day a bike-helmet cam grew from the era of steam So maybe some magic time constructions we're not aware of Will just pluck through your mind, just one more task to take care of Can't something help fight against this whole pathetic condition Where I'm somehow defenseless, just against words or a vision If they're so big and smart Why can't they start making stuff To fight feeling, they're just little feelings Now that there's lasers and beams Let's build amazing machines To fight feeling, they're just a few feelings A few lousy feelings, a few stupid feelings A few little feelings Why can't they fight feeling?
