The Machine Lyrics

The Machine - Tom MacDonald

...

I am not Republican, I am not a Liberal

Why the hell can't I just be American without getting political?

The system gon' suppress us all, they don't care about the cost

How's this a democracy when we got communists in charge?

Cancel culture, Nazis, all they're missing is the swastikas

Honestly, this is a psychological holocaust

Pumpin' propaganda through the screen and straight into your brain

You ain't on a plantation, but you definitely still a slave

Race theory is indoctrinating children

Tell blacks they're disadvantaged, tell whites they got white privilege

What a brilliant way to reinforce division

If whites believe they have it easy they will never help you fight the system

And now they burnin' books in untraditional ways

They just traded newspapers for the digital age

Now the facts can be deleted with no physical flames

They just change the information and the truth gets erased

They keep screamin' to wake up, but they're all woke, not awake

We know the system has failed us, and all the media's fake

I swear the government hates us, having opinions is dangerous

The system built to enslave us only works if we're afraid

I am not Republican, I am not a Liberal

Progressive and traditional are hitmen hired to kill the individual

They label people red or blue, divide us, they don't ever help

They want you thinkin' left or right so you ain't thinkin' for yourself

Go ahead and vote 'cause both the parties are the same side

Two teams, one coach, controlled by the same guys

Left-wing, right-wing, both help the same bird fly

Brainwashing everybody at the same time

The internet was once a place that we could get our facts from

But now it's been monopolized, it's Google or it's Amazon

Who's fact-checking the fact-checkers, I can answer that one?

The people who control the narratives through the platforms

Let me break this down for you simple as I can, 'kay

They use social conditioning to put you in the rat race

It doesn't matter if you're first or third, or if you're last place

You're still a rat, and they're the cats who kill you so you can't escape

They keep screamin' to wake up, but they're all woke, not awake

We know the system has failed us, and all the media's fake

I swear the government hates us, having opinions is dangerous

The system built to enslave us only works if we're afraid

I am not Republican, I am not a Liberal

I am just a man who knows they're scared of a nation that's thinking critical

They kill us or they lock us up for nothing like we're criminals

Divide us 'cause they know that unified, we are invincible

Questioning the government's agenda's controversial

But promoting guns and liquor in our music is commercial?

They're confusing us with pronouns they made up to make us triggered

You can call me what you want, but just don't call me late for dinner

School teaches you to learn and never teaches you to think

So you absorb misinformation, then you practice what they preach

You ain't free, can't you see that's how they want you to act?

That's called conforming to the norm, you don't need freedom for that

I'm not Republican or Liberal, or left-wing or right-leaning

I took the red pills 'cause that's what's fighting for my freedoms

And you don't need to choose to be accepted they build fake teams

Evil runs the world now like hell ain't got no vacancy

They keep screamin' to wake up, but they're all woke, not awake

We know the system has failed us, and all the media's fake

I swear the government hates us, having opinions is dangerous

The system built to enslave us only works if we're afraid
