With limbs made of metal 
 Working loom and pedal 
 Puppeteering all my actions by it's strings 
 Creator of commotion 
 Guiding all emotion 
 It is no longer calling reason it's king 
 But I'm fine 
 Cause ignorance is bliss 
 I doubt you'll savor this 
 Well apathy is an art 
    I am the ghost in the machine 
 Overriding all the rational 
 And you have come to know my name   
 This circus of circuitry 
 Has gotten the best of me 
 Instinctual behavior at the helm 
 So swallow both lock and key 
 No longer considered free 
 Disconnect and join your new kingship realm 
 But I'm fine 
 Cause ignorance is bliss 
 I doubt you'll savor this 
 I'll tear this machine apart   
 I am the ghost in the machine 
 Overriding all the rational 
 And you have come to know my name   
 But if this ghost is in this machine 
 Then why do I feel the warmth? 
 Of this hand that's outstretched towards me 
 Whispering "you're in control."   
 I am the ghost in the machine 
 And you have come to know 
 (My name, my name) 
 And you know how- 
 Oh the words that kept you begging for more 
 Than what you bargained for   
 I am the ghost in the machine 
 Overriding all the rational 
 And you have come to know my name 
 Head in hands, you know who's really to blame
