Level 42 - World Machine lyrics
[Level 42 - World Machine lyrics]
Some folks try to multiply
From sunrise to sunset
Leave behind more of their kind
So no one will forget
But that ain't where i'm coming from
Today those easy girls
Don't turn me on anyway
I wanna know where my pride has gone
The party's over
Caught in a dream inside this world machine
Teachers teach and preachers preach
Of spiritual evolution
But this big I am from uncle sham
Just adds to my confusion
I've seen his face i've heard his song
Before but, I don't care
What time he's on anymore
I must have been on the streets too long
The party's over
Caught in a dream inside this world machine
I find myself outside your door
Trying to make it like before
But, you don't follow what I say
And I can tell by the smile
You're no longer a child
That part of you was buried yesterday
Who knows why they come and where they go
In this world machine?
It's the chosen fools who make the rules
That don't apply to me
With their fast-car games and counter claims
Not my reality
And I don't know if I belong
Today i don't know why
My friends have gone away
I must have been on the streets too long
The party's over caught in a dream
Inside this world machine world machine
World machine
Don't knock the system
We'll knock some sense in you
Can't beat the system
There's nothing you can do
Don't knock the system
We'll knock some sense in you
Can't beat the system
There's nothing you can do
From sunrise to sunset
Leave behind more of their kind
So no one will forget
But that ain't where i'm coming from
Today those easy girls
Don't turn me on anyway
I wanna know where my pride has gone
The party's over
Caught in a dream inside this world machine
Teachers teach and preachers preach
Of spiritual evolution
But this big I am from uncle sham
Just adds to my confusion
I've seen his face i've heard his song
Before but, I don't care
What time he's on anymore
I must have been on the streets too long
The party's over
Caught in a dream inside this world machine
I find myself outside your door
Trying to make it like before
But, you don't follow what I say
And I can tell by the smile
You're no longer a child
That part of you was buried yesterday
Who knows why they come and where they go
In this world machine?
It's the chosen fools who make the rules
That don't apply to me
With their fast-car games and counter claims
Not my reality
And I don't know if I belong
Today i don't know why
My friends have gone away
I must have been on the streets too long
The party's over caught in a dream
Inside this world machine world machine
World machine
Don't knock the system
We'll knock some sense in you
Can't beat the system
There's nothing you can do
Don't knock the system
We'll knock some sense in you
Can't beat the system
There's nothing you can do
