Children of the Machine - Adestria

We’re a nation of expectations

Entitled children who have more than most

Gluttons with an insatiable greed (insatiable greed)

Who feel entitled to the wealth of their fathers' ghost

Our grasp surpassed by our reach

Our ends don’t justify the means

(Our ends don’t justify)

Copy and pasting what we’re told

Instead of thinking on our own

There’s no more common sense

There’s only indifference

Everyone wants a helping hand

But when the role is reversed we put our heads in the sand

What has become of us?

United in fear, divided by mistrust

Taking what we feel we deserve

Motives hide like wolves in the herd

Ostracize those who don’t agree

Vilified by fraudulent decree

Copy and pasting what we’re told

Instead of thinking on our own

There’s no more common sense

There’s only indifference

Everyone wants a helping hand

But when the role is reversed we put our heads in the sand

What has become of us?

United in fear, divided by mistrust

We’re no longer individuals

We’re all part of the plan

We are

The infernal machine

Fueled by oil

And driven by greed

We are

The all seeing eye

Scorching the earth

And burning the sky

Have we forgotten what separates us from the beasts?

Are we too complacent to bite the hand that feeds?

Bite the hand that feeds

Are we too complacent to bite the hand?
