lyrics

when machines eat
they eat me
when they run right
they run me
shut me down now
power down please
pull the plug on me
control alt. delete

ooh, I lost my appetite
the drool, the drain, the way they drone
ooh, I lost my memory
the meal, the meat, the way they moan

when machines eat
they eat me
when they save time
they steal it from me
shut me down now
turn me off
pull the plug on me
make it stop

ooh, I lost my appetite
the drool, the drone, the way they drain
ooh, I lost my memory
the gorge, the grind, the gulping pain

when machines eat

drown the Internet
gore the screen
blind the motherboard
disable and wean

when machines build
they build me
when they breathe in
they choke me
shut me down now
power down please
when machines eat
control alt. delete
