David Bowie - Saviour Machine lyrics
[David Bowie - Saviour Machine lyrics]
President Joe once had a dream
The world held his hand, gave their pledge
So he told them his scheme
For a Saviour Machine
They called it the Prayer
It's answer was law
Its logic stopped war, gave them food
How they adored till it cried in it's boredom
"Please don't believe in me
Please disagree with me life is too easy
A plague seems quite feasible now
Or maybe a war or I may kill you all"
Don't let me stay, don't let me stay
My logic says burn, so send me away
Your minds are too green
I despise all I've seen
You can't stake your lives
On a Saviour Machine
I need you flying, and I'll show that dying
Is living beyond reason
Sacred dimension of time
I perceive every sign, I can steal every mind
Don't let me stay, don't let me stay
My logic says burn, so send me away
Your minds are too green
I despise all I've seen
You can't stake your lives
On a Saviour Machine
The world held his hand, gave their pledge
So he told them his scheme
For a Saviour Machine
They called it the Prayer
It's answer was law
Its logic stopped war, gave them food
How they adored till it cried in it's boredom
"Please don't believe in me
Please disagree with me life is too easy
A plague seems quite feasible now
Or maybe a war or I may kill you all"
Don't let me stay, don't let me stay
My logic says burn, so send me away
Your minds are too green
I despise all I've seen
You can't stake your lives
On a Saviour Machine
I need you flying, and I'll show that dying
Is living beyond reason
Sacred dimension of time
I perceive every sign, I can steal every mind
Don't let me stay, don't let me stay
My logic says burn, so send me away
Your minds are too green
I despise all I've seen
You can't stake your lives
On a Saviour Machine
