The Fifth Row

[Intro]
Listen to the people
Listen to the people

[Verse 1]
We will build something to keep us safe
Impartial to the thoughts and minds of men
Loving, perfect, In every way
Loving, perfect, to keep us safe

[Verse 2]
This will rid the world of all its sins
Code the fabric of life into it
Listen to the people
Listen to the people

[Chorus 1]
(Build a machine)
It’s a choice, it’s the time
Listen friend, jump aboard, get in line
(Build a machine)
This is it, end of sin
Flip a switch, turn it on, plug it in

[Verse 3]
Burn thе metal, twist and make it bend
Sеparate the conscience from the skin
People, circuits, start to mend
Ride this wire to the end
Listen to the people
Listen to the people

[Chorus 2]
(Build a machine)
It’s a choice, it’s the time
Listen friend, jump aboard, get in line
(Build a machine)
This is it, end of sin
Flip a switch, turn it on, plug it in
(Build a machine)
It’s a choice, it’s the time
Listen friend, jump aboard, get in line
(Build a machine)
This is it, end of sin
Flip a switch, turn it on, plug it in
