Tricked the Machine Songtext
von Abney Park

I respect you enough
To tell you the truth
I could spin some false complements
Would you think that′s more couth?
I could, I could, write us a song
And only tell the good sides
Would you say that I've made amends?
That you prefer all the lies

I′m spinning the handle and I've
Tricked the machine
This is only hiding the pain
Still got no vaccine


I can try to soften my words
To lessen the blow
I could spin some false complements
But there 's something you should know
I could tell all your friends
Were doing fine
I could give them false confidence
Were(?) not in decline

I′m spinning the handle and I′ve
Tricked the machine
This is only hiding the pain
Still got no vaccine

I'm spinning the handle and I′ve
Tricked the machine
This is only hiding the pain
Still got no vaccine

I respect you enough
To tell you the truth
I could spin some false complements
Would you think that's more couth?
I could, I could, write us a song
And only tell the good sides
Would you say that I′ve made amends?
That you prefer all the lies


I'm spinning the handle and I′ve
Tricked the machine
This is only hiding the pain
Still got no vaccine

I'm spinning the handle and I've
Tricked the machine
This is only hiding the pain
Still got no vaccine
