Wake Up Mr. Green

lyrics

Hey Machine just chugging along
Yeah, Machine, you're just moving right along
Must be a king or at least a rook
And I'm just a pawn but I'm not afraid to look

You must be so strong
But my bones are made of straw
So you should just keep carrying on
There's nothing I could do to stop you

I'm not alone
I've got brothers and sisters and all these animals
Don't mind them at all
Just keep moving right along

Well, we're leaving rocks on the tracks
When you hop off we'll be there to disassemble you
Take what we need and burn the rest
While you were full of yourself you should've been looking ahead

I'm not alone
I've got brothers and sisters and all these animals
Don't mind them at all....
