[Verse 1]
You can be all you desire
An honest man, a vicious liar
Seek out the Light or seek the Dark
You can honor or desecrate
Sympathize or manipulate
Carved in your flesh, embrace the Mark
[Chorus]
Enslaved and hypnotized
Chained to artificial lives
You are the bast*rds of the Machine, oh-oh
The bast*rds of the Machine
[Verse 2]
Be a saint for those in need
Or spin them webs of lust and greed
Yeah, you've restored my dying faith
With a Kiss of Death, a last farewell
Hand in hand, through the Gates of Hell
You'll pay the price for the choice you make
[Chorus]
I see your demons rise
Deep within your burning eyes
You are the bast*rds of the Machine, oh-oh
The bast*rds of the Machine
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
The bast*rds of the Machine
Oh, you know that you are!
The bast*rds of the Machine, oh!
The bast*rds of the Machine
The bast*rds of the Machine, oh!
[Outro]
You righteous bast*rds!
