Man Vs Machine Songtext
von Bill Champlin

Man versus Machine

You begin the night
With the sweetest lie
Overwhelming me
You hold the key, you′re driving me
Though the shadow falls
And we hit the wall
You're telling me
You need to be so over me

When you go all robotic on me
Overriding my will
I′m locked in, standing still
System overkill

Your automatic reaction
When you hit the ground
Is overpowering me (Man versus Machine)
Under the wheels of protection
You're mowing me down
Man versus Machine (Man versus Machine)


Tangled in your chains
Locked inside your games
While you fan the flames
You're drowning me in gasoline
Underneath the strain
All I′m feeling is pain
With no one to blame
One drama queen, one hurt machine

Now a colder wind is blowin′
And your steely eyes are frozen
All you get is what you've chosen
It′s plain to see, we're history

All this commotion′s killing
Another piece of my soul
You lay my flesh to steel
There's nothing left to feel

Your automatic reaction
When you hit the ground
Is overpowering me (Man versus Machine)
Under the wheels of protection
You′re mowing me down
Man versus Machine (Man versus Machine)


Your automatic reaction
What you do to me
Is overpowering me (Man versus Machine)
Under the wheels of protection
You're mowing me down
Man versus Machine (Man versus Machine)

Over and over again
Way you go robotic
Is overpowering me
The same old thing
Again and again and again and again and again
You're mowing me down
Man versus Machine (Man versus Machine)
