Machines Lyrics by Modestep

London Road

2015

[Instrumental Intro]
*machine noises*

[Verse]
We can make you happy
With these little pills of love and care
We can see a break-in
But these pills will bring these cracks together
It's just an error on your system
Reboot and start again
Then place your back on the line
So you never do what you do best

[Pre-Chorus]
Why do we just do what we're told to do?
Push a button, we come running through
They burned our circuits just to hide the truth
From me and you
Why do we just do what we're told to do?
Push a button, we come running through (Running through)
They burned our circuits just to hide the truth (Hide the truth)
From me and you

[Chorus]
Daily
We see machines repeat the same thing
But we are just the same without the safety
Just a complicated routine, a smokescreen

Daily
We see machines repeat the same thing
But we are just the same without the safety
Just a complicated routine, a smokescreen


[Drop]
Smokescreen
Smokescreen
Smokescreen
Smokescreen

[Pre-Chorus]
So why do always do what you're told to do?
They'll push a button, you'll come strolling through (Strolling through)
They burned your circuits just to hide the truth (Hide the truth)
From me and you (Me and you)
Why do always do what you're told to do?
They'll push a button, you'll come burning through (Burning through)
They burned your circuits just to hide the truth
From me and you (Me and you)

[Chorus]
Daily
We see machines repeat the same thing
But we are just the same without the safety
Just a complicated routine, a smokescreen

Daily
We see machines repeat the same thing
But we are just the same without the safety
Just a complicated routine, a smokescreen
