I feel an ache in my body
But if only I'd have no bones
I know the air isn't breathable
And it's no good for my lungs
I feel an anger inside of me
Burns like the sun in my chest
I got no patience or self-control
God knows I'm trying my best

If I was a machine
I'd never have to worry
I know that I could always press delete
If I was a machine
I wouldn't be affected
By violence on the television screen
Wouldn't have a heart
So you couldn't break it
No such thing as time
So you couldn't waste it
That would be the dream
The world could never bother me
If I was a ma-, if I was a machine
No oh oh oh, no, oh
If I was a machine, no, oh
If I was a ma-, if I was ma-

I don't do well under pressure
But if I was made out of steel
I would be so damn invincible
Nothing could undo my will
I wouldn't make bad decisions
No promises or regrets
And everything that makes me miserable
Is a consequence of my flesh

If I was a machine
I'd never have to worry
I know that I could always press delete
If I was a machine
I wouldn't be affected
By violence on the television screen
Wouldn't have a heart
So you couldn't break it
No such thing as time
So you couldn't waste it
That would be the dream
The world could never bother me
If I was a ma-, if I was a machine
No oh oh oh, no, oh, no, no, no
If I was a machine, no, oh
If I was a ma-, if I was ma-

Drunk and high every night
Numb the pain, oh
Flush it all down the drain
If I could find a way out of this hole
I could do anything
Every night, different guy
Numb the pain, oh
Flush it all down the drain
If I could find a way out of this hole
I could do anything

If I was a machine
I'd never have to worry
I know that I could always press delete
If I was a machine
I wouldn't be affected
By violence on the television screen
Wouldn't have a heart
So you couldn't break it
No such thing as time
So you couldn't waste it
That would be the dream
The world could never bother me
If I was a ma-, if I was a machine
No oh oh oh, no, oh, no, no, no
If I was a machine, no, oh
If I was a ma-, if I was ma-
