Man Against Machine

They're waiting just outside my door

This is where I make my stand

Cause I can't stand it anymore

Papa

They have no heart and soul

But make no doubt about it

They're the ones that in control

So prepare yourself for a war unlike you've ever seen

This is man against machine

Work work work

Day in day out

Bust your back and turn it out

Next bought and do it all again

Hard job or two

So your children won't have to

That's just the ways it's always been

But lately I swear the machine

Are living the American dream

Careful calculations

Details drawn down to design

Is it really for the better or a better bottom line

Don't know me from Adam

Man it's rotten to the core

It's gonna get reminded that man's kicked it's a** before

John Henry's about to show honesty

In this war of man against machine

Work

Work

Work

Work

Up early up hills

Spend your youth to pay the bills

Each generation makes a trade

Top floor brass tax

Holds the hand that holds the ax

Acts like my dues have not been paid

But pay attention now when I say

Formation isn't happening today

Careful calculations

Details drawn down to design

Is it really for the better or a better part of life

Don't know me from Adam it's rotten to the core

It's gonna get reminded that man's kicked it's a** before

John Henry's about to blow off some steam

In this war of man against machine

Work

Work

Work

Work

Work

Papa

The power's off the machines are down

In this world of darkness

I can still hear a sound

Papa

That sound tears us apart

Cause I'm a machine myself

But I am one with a working heart

Careful calculations

Details drawn down to design

Is it really for the better or a better bottom line

Don't know me from Adam

Man it's rotten to the core

It's gonna get reminded that man's kicked it's a** before

The gloves are off no love lost between

In this war of man against machine

Work

Against machine

Work

Work

Against machine

Work
