Lyrics We Are Not Machines - Pieta Brown, Ani DiFranco, S. Carey

We Are Not Machines

Greed is poison
It’s barricaded
Barricaded
Barricaded
We had developed to speed
We have shut ourselves in
Knowledge has made us cynical
Cleverness has made us unkind
Why so unkind?
Why so unkind?
Machine that gives us too much
Has left us wanting more
To those who can hear me
I say
Do not despair
Do not despair
Do not despair
Misery that is here and now
It’s just the passing of greed
Hate will pass and dictate it’s fate
And the power they took
Will return to the people
To the people
To the people
Don’t give yourselves to these machine minds
Don’t let them in, these machine hearts
We are not machines
We are not machines
We all have the power
Let us use the power
Let us all unite
We are not machines
We are not machines
We are not machines
