Children of the Machine

We’re a nation of expectations
Entitled children who have more than most
Gluttons with an insatiable greed (insatiable greed)
Who feel entitled to the wealth of their fathers' ghost
Our grasp surpassed by our reach
Our ends don’t justify the means
(Our ends don’t justify)
Copy and pasting what we’re told
Instead of thinking on our own
There’s no more common sense
There’s only indifference
Everyone wants a helping hand
But when the role is reversed we put our heads in the sand
What has become of us?
United in fear, divided by mistrust
Taking what we feel we deserve
Motives hide like wolves in the herd
Ostracize those who don’t agree
Vilified by fraudulent decree
Copy and pasting what we’re told
Instead of thinking on our own
There’s no more common sense
There’s only indifference
Everyone wants a helping hand
But when the role is reversed we put our heads in the sand
What has become of us?
United in fear, divided by mistrust
We’re no longer individuals
We’re all part of the plan
We are
The infernal machine
Fueled by oil
And driven by greed
We are
The all seeing eye
Scorching the earth
And burning the sky
Have we forgotten what separates us from the beasts?
Are we too complacent to bite the hand that feeds?
Bite the hand that feeds
Are we too complacent to bite the hand?
