Lyrics for The Machine Is Broken
Mess in my bedroom Mess in my car Mess in my head Mess in my heart! Clean up my bedroom Clean up this car Clean up your head Clean up your heart! Clean up your heart, you're Missing the best part! I quit this job! I quit this job! The machine is broken! But I'm a real boy, my heart's Full of love, it's not made of wood! Put all your hopes And all your dreams in the machine But the machine is broken God of love, god of lust And the crops they burn in the Circle of trust Go to the city! Go to the store! Ask for a loan from another band! Hardy har-har, Chinese Throwing star Lamborghini Countach Maserati sports car Clean up my bedroom Clean up this car Clean up your head Clean up your heart! Clean up your heart, you're Missing the best part! I quit this job! I quit this job! The machine is broken! But I'm a real boy, my heart's Full of love, it's not made of wood Every time you close your eyes (Lies! Lies!) Every time you close your eyes (Lies! Lies!) Every time you close your eyes (Lies! Lies!) Every time you close your eyes (Lies! Lies!) The machine is broken
