Machine Songtext
von hi i'm Case

The view from down here is anything but pretty
Been knocked and dented as the pieces fall in place
Etched in the cold steel sides of my enclosure
Maps of circuits that aren′t easy to replace
I read social cues like inputs
What I spit out isn't formatted to read
Your concerns are efficiency, utility
What you can get out of me

′Cause all I am is a machine
Build me up and hear my gears creak out
Only show up just before I shut down
It's time to check on your machine

When you look behind the casing of the smoke
We'd be ashamed to have another circuit blown
Your concerns on proper handling or wiring
Just what you′ll get out of me


′Cause all I am is a machine
Build me up and hear my gears creak out
Only show up just before I shut down
You'll never let me break, just only fall apart
Patch me up and I′ll restart
Don't ever let me think, was never meant to speak
′Cause all I am is a machine

And I don't need the time of day
Those kind of arguments uncalled for anyway
You′ll leave me be, let my meters drop and fade
And maybe someday I'll be easy to replace

'Cause all I am is a machine
Build me up and hear my gears creak out
Only show up just before I shut down
But you′ll never let me break, just only fall apart
Patch me up and I′ll restart
Please don't ever let me think, was never meant to speak
′Cause all I am is a machine
'Cause all I am is a machine
′Cause all I am is a machine
