Infernal Machines

(album: Office Politics - 2019)

Machines that do this, machines that do that
Machines that go hiss, machines that go crack
Machines that will give us the things that we lack
Machines that do this, machines that do that

Machines that do all the things we cannot
Machines that recall the things we forgot
Machines in our offices, schools and shops
Machines that do all the things we cannot

Machines down below, machines up above
Machines making clothes, machines making love
These are the things that dreams are made of
Machines down below, machines up above

Machines that go ping, machines that go pong
Machines that can sing machine-written songs
Machines that can think, that know right from wrong
Machines that go ping, machines that go pong

Machines for the boys, machines for the girls
Machines that make toys, machines that make
Murderous plans to destroy, take over the world
Machines for the boys, machines for the girls
Machines that will take, machines that will give
Machines that will wake, machines that will live
Machines that will make mistakes, and that is
The trouble with these infernal machines
