LYRICS:
Hey there now young wholly,
Swing along, quote the scriptures,
Keep them guessing which pit you crawled from.
Just defy it, just deny it, was it fun?
Your time iss come
What have you done?
What have you done?
That's when the insults start to sting
You can't remember anything
The chorus chime in, the Greek chorus
The machine of God
Singin'
It's the poison that it measures
Brings illuminating vision
It's the knowing with a wink
That we expect in Southern women
It's the wolf that knows which root to dig to save itself
It's the octopus that crawled back to the sea.
That's when the insults start to sting
You can't remember anything
The chorus chime in, the Greek chorus
The machine of God
Ring.....
Hammered, shooting plywood in the backyard
Laughing 'cause the racket makes the blackbird sing
Write the holy terror
Suck the marrow from the bone
Singe your own wings burning books
You got the chorus and the ring
That's when the insults start to sting
You can't remember anything
The chorus chime in, the Greek chorus
The machine sings.
That's when the insults start to sting
You can't remember anything
The chorus chime in, the Greek chorus
The machine sings.
That's when the calibration brittle as a stick
Gets you the gold ring and the tar museum
Che guevera wink, gold ring
Gold ring.
Sing...
