FEEDING THE MACHINE Words and music by David Norris Taken for granted, Like cattle we are branded Left alone and stranded, Yeah isn’t it romantic How they shove us into pins, Into chutes we pile in To the slaughterhouse we file in, All were born for dying They bludgeon us to death, They say its for the best Drop the blade onto our necks And you know what’s coming next We stand and take the pain, Like good soldiers we are trained We hide inside our shame Then they bring the hammer down All we are, battle scars, we die hard Feeding the Machine Everything we’ve known, Here inside our home Like seeds we were grown, But onto rock were sown Denied the fertile soil, Ripped from the mortal coil Reused our bones are boiled, They burn our blood for oil Every step we take Helps to seal our fate So in the dark we wait, Building up our hate We’ve taken all we can, It’s time to make a stand Someone had a plan So we bring the hammer down All we are, battle scars, we die hard Feeding the Machine
