Virus In The Machine

While I'm absorbed by the ground
I feel the madness
Of starting something to surround
And wreck the system, wow

I tried to pray, I tried to smile
I tried to fake it (fail!)
Then I understood fun and speech
As a big snake, yeah

The great night will arrive and I
Will speak through your voice to revive

The virus, virus, virus in the machine, wow

I hope to find another way
To dispel my anger out of these gates
And my words make your unique mind come round, oh
This feeling’s right but feel so wrong
But I know this feeling gets me strong
To have a voice is to have faith

You've been there to call my sins of thrall as if you're free

All the fucked people of this town
Living their lives by renown
Electing rulers who inject fear and violence
And then they'll pray
If any God is watching, in the flames hell they will pay

While I sing people cry
We all could change it
They kill some freak on the ground
And we’re still waiting (congratulations)
If kind words were used
We could respect each other to begin
We could feel each other the way we feel
Ourselves within

I’d rather call this song a flop
And say something
Using American imperialism
To stop them

My white straight cisgender men, my friends
You have a choice (love, live your life, learn to respect and stop your fear)
My black, immigrant, queer, women, friends
Don’t fear your voice

This crap pop song in english is the DNA
That will shot this big cell
You call a brain

Forgive me for my arrogance
But I'm out of patience
We never turned a page of
History with no blood
Do not expect any elegance
We need this virulence
Because this time I know

I hope to find another way
To dispel my anger out of these gates
And my words make your unique mind come round, oh
This feeling’s right but feel so wrong
But I know this feeling gets me strong
To have a voice is to have faith

The great night will arrive and we're
Speaking through your voice to revive
The virus, virus, virus in the machine
