Get a house, go to work, get a job
Go to school, get a man, get a dog
Get love, get fucked, but don't get 'em twisted
Get a friend, vacation, on the weekend
Find a scene, play a sport, get in fashion
TV show, you can talk about with passion
Gluten-free, hybrid, culture clashing
Looking for the win
We're all part of the machine
All standing in our place
The silent trumpets play
Tempting us with fake illusive happiness
Better hold onto your dreams
Before they drift away
The clowns are closing in
Singing join the crowd
Of morning birds and loneliness
Get ahead, get a raise, get a God
Buy in one click, scan your credit card
Profile picture looking too pretty
Make a face, make it weird, make it look silly
Small meals often not larger
Work smarter not harder
Smile, vote, shake hands, but don't forget to
Make eye contact
We're all part of the machine
All standing in our place
The silent trumpets play
Tempting us with fake illusive happiness
Better hold onto your dreams
Before they drift away
The clowns are closing in
Singing join the crowd
Of morning birds and loneliness
Running from your fears
Running from your fears
Running from your fears
Running from your fears
Running from your fears
Running from your fears
Running from your fears
Running from your fears
Running from your fears
Running from your fears
Running from your fears
Running from your fears
Machine
All standing in our place
The silent trumpets play
Tempting us with fake illusive happiness
Better hold onto your dreams
Before they drift away
The clowns are closing in
Singing join the crowd
Of morning birds and loneliness
