Street Machine Lyrics

Skull and bones etched into your eyes
You never know who's gonna be first or the last to die
Life touches you in the strangest ways
You're swallowed whole behind that empty gaze

One more shot, one more rip, it's time to let life go
Just one more moment to snap out of this horror show
But now you've left a stain inside their hearts
The acts of a selfish mind tore their world apart

Like father, like son, your life had just begun
Take heed on what your mother said
"Some day you'll be someone"

But it's the land of the free, oh say can you see
Choke your rights through the lungs
Feed the street machine

The street machine
Can't fight back the winter

Shooting dreams into your veins
Ignoring facts of life, prepare to drag the chains
It's worth it for the kill, go on and shoot the thrill
Your body aches to fire at will

Like mother like daughter,
You're sentenced to the slaughter
Claw the worms out of your skin
This is what you taught her

But it's the land of the free, oh say can you see
Choke the right through the lungs
Feed the street machine
