Children of the Machine Songtext
von Adestria

We′re a nation of expectations
Entitled children who have more than most
Gluttons with an insatiable greed
Who feel entitled to the wealth of their father's ghost
Our grasp surpassed by our reach
Our ends don′t justify the means
(Our ends don't justify)

Copy and pasting what we're told
Instead of thinking on our own
There′s no more common sense
There′s only indifference
Everyone wants a helping hand
But when the role is reversed, we put our heads in the sand
What has become of us?
United in fear, divided by mistrust


Taking what we feel we deserve
Motives hide like wolves in the herd
Ostracize those who don't agree
Vilified by fraudulent decree

Copy and pasting what we′re told
Instead of thinking on our own
There's no more common sense
There′s only indifference
Everyone wants a helping hand
But when the role is reversed, we put our heads in the sand
What has become of us?
United in fear, divided by mistrust

We're no longer individuals
We′re all part of the plan

We are the infernal machine
Fueled by oil and driven by greed
We are the all-seeing eye
Scorching the earth and burning the sky
Have we forgotten what separates us from the beasts?
Are we too complacent to bite the hand that feeds?
Bite the hand that feeds
Are we too complacent to bite the hand?
