Clinging to The Great Machine Lyrics by Allan Franzner

0

[Chorus]
The anchor go around baiting
Clings to the great machine
The gunmen go around taking
All that theirs has never been
The big men go around shaking
Stuff not to be shaked or swinged
The poor men go around gazing
Never understand a thing
The law is the way of torture
Torture on the man of struggle
The police force is the force of horror
Horror on the man of color
Another symptom is a star, bailing
Also pumping the machine
Love is the song left untacked about
[Chorus]
The anchor go around baiting
Clings to the great machine
Thе gunmen go around taking
All that theirs has nevеr been
The big men go around shaking
Stuff not to be shaked or swinged
The poor men go around gazing
Never understand a thing
The law is the way of torture
Torture on the man of struggle
The police force is the force of horror
Horror on the man of color
Another symptom is a star, bailing
Also pumping the machine
Love is the song left untacked about
[Chorus]
The anchor go around baiting
Clings to the great machine
The gunmen go around taking
All that theirs has never been
The big men go around shaking
Stuff not to be shaked or swinged
The poor men go around gazing
Never understand a thing
The law is the way of torture
Torture on the man of struggle
The police force is the force of horror
Horror on the man of color
Another symptom is a star, bailing
Also pumping the machine
Love is the song left untacked about
