Look behind, follow the lineWhere did we stray?What have we done?This is no path beneath our feetOur footsteps fall on filthy wasteWe call these chains our jewelryAnd refuse to see we’re trapped(With their vomit in our mouthsWe gasp for rotten airObey the command and swallow every bitThe clanking of machines drowns out the cries of the pastWhat’s it worth to you?)What’s it worth toyou? The voices of the deadOur machines will take their placeGotta make ‘em dance, gotta tell ‘em what they wantWrap it up and make it shine, put away those thoughtsYou need the newest faces, listen to those looksThey didn’t have to think at all, why should you?You will choke it down This is all you needYou will worship them They need devotionYou will take this mind we’ve made for youYou will fall in lineSongtexteWe stand in perfectly straight linesThe shining lights draw our eyesCan we not look away?Look down and see where we stand?There is nothing for us Giant shoulders wait and waste(We are) pathetic(We are) bought and soldNo price is too lowThey’ve got what we needA plastic shield insideFor a plastic shell of artYou love a name, a pretty plastic faceCrafted by the mastersThe machines are pleasedYou call this your lifeYou call this your loveTake my bleeding handsTake my battered brainTell me this is realTell me this is rightTell me what you loveTell me what you know Aus Songtexte Mania
