A simple request to save my life It turns into a complex food for thought I'm chained up to the wall cuz I said too much I wanted to be free from the iron touch But now my sense of thought's fading Slaves to machines Slaves to machines Slaves to machines Slaves to machines My words have turned to static noise and loss The fingers that I wrote with, broken off A new set of eyes that make me blind In this metal coffin I stay confined And now I turn into nobody Slaves to machines Slaves to machines Slaves to machines Slaves to machines Telling lies for mass appeal I would rather disappear Words of "wisdom" get let loose I would rather hang from a noose Suits and ties are their disguise Lay their hands upon your thighs Slap your face if you misbehave We don't wanna be a slave Slaves to machines Slaves to machines Slaves to machines Slaves to machines
