Lord have mercy Please forgive me I'm just doing what it takes to survive Who can blame me They always take me They fucking rape me Now I'm everything that I didn't want But was made to be Close your eyes Don't ask why Live a lie You just feed the machine Going down Spinning round Gagged and bound You just feed the machine They know how to break me Then forsake me Play on every one of my fears It's so easy They self-abuse me Spin and confuse me From the very day that I was born Write my destiny Blow your mind Running blind By design You just feed the machine Take the pain Kill your brain Wear the chain You just feed the machine Lord have mercy Please forgive me I'm a prisoner in my own mind Look what they've done to me My world is empty Totally crazy They sell me counterfeit paradise And tell me it's liberty Take your turn Crash and burn Never learn Feel the fear Shed a tear It's so clear You just feed the machine You just feed the machine
