[Verse 1]
       G
It's a Machine's world
F                            A#
Don't tell me I ain't got no soul
           G
When the machines take over
F                     A#
It ain't no place for rock'n'roll.
[Prechorus]
     F
They tell me I don't care
                           C
But deep inside I'm just a man
[Chorus]
     G
They freeze me they burn me
They squeeze me they stress me
     Am
With smoke-blackened pistons of steel they compress me
    F                       C                   A#
But no-one, but no-one, but no-one can wrest me away
        G
Back to Humans.
C
We have no disease, no troubles of mind
   F                          C
No thank you, no please, no regard for the time
   F             G
We never cry, we never retreat
   D#                    G
We have no conception of love or defeat.
[Verse 2]
            G
What's that Machine noise
F                            A#
It's bytes and megachips for tea
            G
It's that Machine, boys
F                      A#
With Random Access Memory
F
Never worry, never mind
                       C
Not for money, not for gold.
[Chorus]
G
It's software it's hardware
It's heartbeat is time-share
A
It's midwife's a disk drive
It's sex-life is quantised
     F                   C              F
It's self-perpetuating a parahumanoidarianised.
        G
Back to Humans
Back to Humans.
                            F
Back to Machines, machines, machines, machines.
[Coda]
G
Living in a new world
G
Thinking in the past
G
Living in a new world
G
How you gonna last
   F
Machine world...
         G
It's a Machine's world...
