Machines Live Like Ordinary People Lyrics by BirdPen

On​/​Off​/​Safety​/​Danger

2008

[Verse]
Ticking so quickly I falter, I can't breath or sleep
Now I'm falling so deeper
Life is exceeding, exploding, this mess overloading
The station will fall
Coughing and splutter, the machine is dying
And crying alone in a hole
Cassette jam is killing the tape decks
That hold memories for us all
Running and breaking the records they're making
To win for complete control
Skylight is breaking and thunder is cracking
It's the end for sure
Corrupting and twisting, this system is bleeding
And losing all thought control
Brothers and sisters, we're missing existing
The overall point of it all, yeah
[Chorus]
Machines live like ordinary people
Machines live like ordinary folk
Machines live like ordinary people
Machines for one and one for all, one for all
[Post-Chorus]
Coming and knocking at your door
Coming and knocking at your door
Coming and knocking at your door
Coming and knocking at your door
[Chorus]
Machines live like ordinary people (Machine is dying)
Machines live like ordinary folk (Machine is dying)
Machines live like ordinary people (Machine is dying)
Machines for one and one for all (Machine is dying)
(Machine is dying, dying, dying)
(Machine is dying, dying, dying)
(Machine is dying, dying, dying)
[Post-Chorus]
Coming and knocking at your door
(Machine is dying, dying, dying)
Coming and knocking at your door
(Machine is dying, dying, dying)
Coming and knocking at your door
(Machine is dying, dying, dying)
Coming and knocking at your door
(Machine is dying, dying, dying)
Knocking at your door
