The corporate beast has got me
And I've fallen in the trap
This beast it feeds on me
And I'm never coming back
You've sucked the truth out of me
Abolished honesty
I can't escape, it's got me
Independence dying slowly
Welcome to the machine
Welcome to the machine
It's eating me alive
Welcome to the machine
Welcome to the machine
Sell out your life or die
In pursuit of your polished altars
You dream of presidents
Sell your god, sell your faith and market
Prices are rising fast
I never asked for this
My intentions were pure
I never meant to enlist
In the corporate music war
Welcome to the machine
Welcome to the machine
It's eating me alive
Welcome to the machine
Welcome to the machine
Sell out your life or die
Your world is painted mint green
You believe green is everything
This machine has taken me away
This machine has taken me away
This machine has taken me away
This machine has got me
[Incomprehensible]
The corporate beast has got me
And I've fallen in the trap
This beast it feeds on me
And I'm never coming back
Welcome to the machine
Welcome to the machine
It's eating me alive
Welcome to the machine
Welcome to the machine
Sell out your life or die
Welcome to the machine
Welcome to the machine
(It's eating me alive)
Welcome to the machine
Welcome to the machine
Welcome to the machine
Welcome to the machine
(It's eating me alive)
Welcome to the machine
Welcome to the machine
