Lyrics for Meat Machines
Are we the first to be the last Have the die already been cast It's such a very precarious line Between stoned and petrified If Oedipus never was told his fate Would he have been able to shake it If you can't see the cage you're in, how can you break it? Is the signal gone? Have we disintegrated yet? Why do all the stars look so disaffected? And are humans nothing more than meat machines? Or is there more? Is there more to us? Too busy rewriting history To see what tomorrow brings Too busy pretending to be clean You can never say what you're really thinking Because if you question their beliefs Or assumptions they'll destroy you When you can't see the maze you're in, how can you escape it? Is the signal gone? Have we disintegrated yet? Why do all the stars look so disaffected? And are humans nothing more than meat machines? Or is there more? Is there more to us?
