LEVEL 42 - World Machine lyrics

rate me

Some folks try<br>To multiply<br>From sunrise to sunset<br>Leave behind<br>More of their kind<br>So no one will forget<br>But that ain't where I'm coming from - today<br>Those easy girls don't turn me on - anyway<br>I wanna know where my pride has gone<br>The party's over<br>Caught in a dream<br>Inside this world machine<br><br>Teachers teach<br>And preachers preach<br>Of spiritual evolution<br>But this big I am<br>From uncle sham<br>Just adds to my confusion<br>I've seen his face, I've heard his song - before<br>But I don't care what time he's on - anymore<br>I must have been on the streets too long<br>The party's over<br>Caught in a dream<br>Inside this world machine<br><br>I find myself outside your door<br>Trying to make it like before<br>But you don't follow what I say<br>And I can tell by your smile<br>You're no longer a child<br>That part of you was buried yesterday . . .<br>. . . who knows<br>Why they come and where they go<br>In this world machine? <br><br>It's the chosen fools<br>Who make the rules<br>That don't apply to me<br>With their fast-car games<br>And counter claims<br>Not my reality<br><br>And I don't know if I belong - today<br>I don't know why my friends have gone - away<br>I must have been on the streets too long<br>The party's over<br>Caught in a dream<br>Inside this world machine<br><br>(don't knock the system - we'll knock some sense in you<br>Don't beat the system - there's nothing you can do)
