Текст песни: The Machine + перевод

Here I am it’s midnight, I’ve had a few to drink

I’m wandering through the streets alone, battery’s on the blink

Barcelona, November 2017

I thought it’d be the future by now but it’s gone and been

I look at all the girls, why they don’t look at me

I’m an Elvis baby as I stumble through a scene

Four white guys explaining white privilege

To their one black friend with no hint of irony

I think of saying something but someone else jumps in

Three of them go silent but one of them’s got the hump come on

What am I doing in this life, what am I doing in this city

The show I played tonight had six attendees

What’s happening in the world, what is that pigeon doing

It’s in moments like these i start to judge human beings come on come on

Ah come on

Then I think of everything I do, think, feel or see

It barely contributes to the economy

But the joke is on all of us though i make it drunkenly

Better make yourself useless, lest you get replaced by the machine

The irrepressible machine

Oh machine

Do you have to do it so coldly

I wake up in a chair with another person’s legs

Things aren’t hard to normalise when you still feel the effects

Involuntarily scowl at infernal howling dogs

But i wonder if they suffer these same internal dialogues

I take up the kind offer to get coffee shop lean

And I’m crouched behind a tractor at the age of sixteen

Pondering ergonomics, pondering anything

Thinking even dealers won’t escape being replaced by the machine

But then anything I think, do, feel or see

It doesn’t mean a thing to market driven policy

I’m an animal honey, I’ve got flaws and I’ve got feelings

I’ve got very human issues on the cusp of the rise of the machine

The irrepressible machine

Ah machine

Do you have to do it so coldly
