| Took down my coat and I put it on
|
| With cold hands through the sleeves
|
| Put down my head and I rode alone
|
| Silent as in the trees
|
| I rode past all the soldiers there
|
| Got in the bridge cross the creek
|
| The lonesome sounds of my bridal bells there
|
| Mad chattering teeth
|
| Oh, oh, you can’t get what you need
|
| Oh, oh, you can’t beat the machine
|
| Rode three days through the hell and rain
|
| Cause the kick is in the heats
|
| Now I heard that great job of winning then
|
| Got through the darkest of me
|
| Yeah it’s time until the war comes again
|
| At least not till the spring
|
| Said those fools can never take the crown
|
| That it’s still up to you and me
|
| Oh, oh, you can’t get what you need
|
| Oh, oh, you can’t beat the machine
|
| Famines rage while the weather saves
|
| Pointing fingers at the beach
|
| This war machine and on the death of breeze
|
| Crushing bodies underneath
|
| Builds a cave and very soldiers lay
|
| Flags out in the street
|
| They finally tell the human race
|
| But it’s still up to you and me
|
| Oh, oh, you can’t get what you need
|
| Oh, oh, you can’t beat the machine
|
| Oh, oh, you can’t get what you need
|
| Oh, oh, you can’t beat the machine |
