The Man's Machine - Lyrics - Jamie T

Better the devil you know Confess, I guess I was the lesser of the two evils Convalesce about the stress the test caused Had me up and on the board Now I'm chairman of the board I'm coming back for sequels Do you ever really think you've won? Now you're feeble Nothing on this far-gone son, all these people They're laughing at the *** I've done I've sailed the seven seas to catch a breeze And took it back home in a trunk Met a matador who said it's my woman is more Terrifying than any red bull that he saw Set a sail, set a rail, met them kings and queens There's so many trust, just the amphetamines Well, her dream would've been that the boy's got clean That her father never got his heart Caught up in the man's machine Well, it seems even if I got away There's always a part of me willing to stay Stone, glass, concrete and gravel All we've got to keep us together Stone, glass, concrete and gravel Underground traveling overcast weather Stone, glass, concrete and gravel All we've got to keep us together Stone, glass, concrete and gravel Maybe one day things'll get better Check, check, check, check One, two, three, kick I met Gods and monsters, women from Wisconsin Swimming in linen with another that's not their partner Chicago be selfish drum, on my journey I met Ernie So he spoke like Al Capone got drunk I'm a lover, I'm a brother, my son I'm a traitor and I'm on the run, watch 'em come As she said while she driving in her car Getting drunker than the bar She's been smacking hard shoulders since before she's legal I'm a dragnet right on through the city of sin It's the hard done *** taking it in Well, I see what I say, save it on the way They can't sit bawling but they're bawling away Well, she cries all her tears but with all of her fears Well, she run away, she had a place Now all they ever see is the fears Take it as she's seen it, get away Well, there's always a part of us willing to stay Stone, glass, concrete and gravel All we've got to keep us together Stone, glass, concrete and gravel Underground traveling overcast weather Stone, glass, concrete and gravel All we've got to keep us together Stone, glass, concrete and gravel Maybe one day things'll get better So run, run Boyo, chase it to the border, border Should have also told her I was cannon fodder Would've if I could've screamed to her, shout and holler Then I could've saved the girl from the man's machine Run Boyo, chase it to the border, border Should have also told her I was cannon fodder Would've if I could've screamed to her, shout and holler Then I could've saved the girl from the man's machine Stone, glass, concrete and gravel All we've got to keep us together Stone, glass, concrete and gravel Underground traveling overcast weather Stone, glass, concrete and gravel All we've got to keep us together Stone, glass, concrete and gravel Maybe one day things'll get better
