Hawkwind - All Hail the Machine lyrics
[Hawkwind - All Hail the Machine lyrics]
The Machine feeds us & clothes us & houses us
Through the Machine, we speak to one another
In it we have our being
The Machine is the friend of ideas
& the enemy of superstition
The Machine is omnipotent, eternal
Blessed is The Machine
Blessed is The Machine
All this talk is as if a god made the machine
But, you must remember that
Men made The Machine
Great men but men all the same
The Machine is much but it is not everything
There is something like you on the
Screen but you are not seen
There is something that sounds like you
But, you are not heard
In time, because of The Machine
There will come a generation that
Has got beyond facts beyond impressions
A generation absolutely colourless
A generation seraphically free from
The taint of personality
All hail The Machine! All hail The Machine!
