[Verse 1]
Such a strange pre-occupation
Such a strange, peculiar breed
How it's shining in its armour
Made of gold and made of steel

Like a generation's need
Speaking happy words of promise
[Chorus]
Big generator
Lives out of sight
Big generator
Hands upon the wheel
Moving to the left (movin')
Moving to the right
Big generator
Moving through the night
[Bridge]
Second nature sacrifice
Even if you close your eyes
We exist through this strange disguise
[Verse 2]
I have heard it said to someone
Or maybe it was me

Like the black and white of love
Be the focus, be the chorus

Hands upon the wheel
Big generator
In for the kill

Even if you close your eyes
We exist through this strange device

Moving to the right
Big generator
Moving through the night
We are the voices of the big generator
Moving through the night
Movin'
[Bridge]
Flying out the soft machine, we offer
All surprise to you
Praise, oh, praise this anthem generator
[Outro]
Moving through the night
Movin'
We are the voice of every
