Bastards of the Machine

Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] You can be all you desire An honest man, a vicious liar Seek out the light or seek the dark You can honor or desecrate Sympathize or manipulate Carved in your flesh, embrace the mark [Chorus 1] Enslaved and hypnotized Chained to artificial lives You are the bastards of the machine, oh The bastards of the machine [Verse 2] Be a saint for those in need Or spin them webs of lust and greed Yeah, you've restored my dying faith With a kiss of death, a last farewell Hand in hand, through the gates of hell You'll pay the price for the choice you make [Chorus 2] I see your demons rise Deep within your burning eyes You are the bastards of the machine, oh The bastards of the machine [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] The bastards of the machine Oh, you know that you are! The bastards of the machine, oh The bastards of the machine The bastards of the machine, oh [Outro] You righteous bastards!
