you can’t hide the darker side of you
you can’t disguise a lie, and call it truth
you neglect responsibility
and sacrifise your dignity
you do it all so shamelessly  

tour motivation is your bottom line 
its not enough to take what’s yours 
you take what’s mine 
your religion is kind of funny 
it seems you worship money 
heartless and mechanical soul 

machine people 
industrial disease 
machine people 
is it worth loosing your humanity 

I’m almost glad that I found out 
what you’ve become, I can live without 
was I just to blind to see 
your lack of morality 
it’s painfully obvious now 

machine people 
industrial disease 
machine people 
is it worth loosing your humanity 

a perfect state of mind 
takes a little time 
and a sense of wrong and right 
let our conscience be our guide 

machine people 
industrial disease 
machine people 
is it worth loosing your humanity 

you can’t hide your darker side 
can’t disguise a lie 
neglect responsibility
