World Machine

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Some folks try to multiply
From sunrise to sunset
Leave behind more of their kind
So no one will forget

[Pre-Chorus]
But that ain't where
I'm coming from
Today
Those easy girls
Don't turn me on
Anyway
I wanna know
Where my pride has gone
The party's over

[Chorus]
Caught in a dream
Inside this world machine

[Verse 2]
Teachers teach and preachers preach
Of spiritual evolution
But this big I am from uncle sham
Just adds to my confusion

[Pre-Chorus]
I've seen his face
I've heard his song
Before
But I don't care
What time he's on
Anymore
I must have been
On the streets too long
The party's over

[Chorus]
Caught in a dream
Inside this world machine

[Bridge]
I find myself outside your door
Trying to make it like before
But you don't follow what I say
And I can tell by the smile
You're no longer a child
That part of you was buried yesterday
Who knows
Why they come and where they go
In this world machine?

[Verse 3]
It's the chosen fools who make the rules
That don't apply to me
With their fast-car games and counter claims
Not my reality

[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't know
If I belong
Today
I don't know why
My friends have gone
Away
I must have been
On the streets too long

[Chorus]
The party's over
Caught in a dream
Inside this world machine
World machine
World machine

[Outro]
Don't knock the system
We'll knock some sense in you
Can't beat the system
There's nothing you can do
Don't knock the system
We'll knock some sense in you
Can't beat the system
There's nothing you can do
