Pain of Salvation - The Big Machine lyrics

"And he actually held up the
Weapon before our eyes
And there, dressed in a suit and tie
He smiled and told us with pride in his
Voice that "this model
Was largely represented
In the Gulf war!" he was so very
Proper and clean and so alarmingly blind!"

Welcome inside the machine it hurts
Go numb, go blind

One's drilling out a pipe
One adjusts the aim one makes trigger parts
Weapons as a game

All trapped in killing routine washed clean
By this machine

On these grey walls lovely pictures of the
Weapons we produce but not their actions

All are part of the big Machine
We do our job "Guilty!"

But what if we save? And what if we solve?
And what if we build? And what

What if we lose control?
What if we lose control?
What if we lose control?
What if we lose control?
What if we lose control?
What if we lose control? Control, control
What if we lose, lose, lose if we lose
I am just a wheel

And what if we stop?
