Lyrics

[00:19.61] President Joe once had a dream
[00:24.51] The world held his hand,
[00:26.83] gave their pledge
[00:27.99] So he told them his scheme
[00:29.84] for a Saviour Machine
[00:33.28] They called it the Prayer,
[00:35.13] it's answer was law
[00:38.72] Its logic stopped war,
[00:41.09] gave them food
[00:42.39] How they adored
[00:43.84] till it cried in it's boredom
[00:47.00] 'Please don't believe in me,
[00:54.13] please disagree with me
[01:01.25] Life is too easy,
[01:07.36] a plague seems quite feasible now
[01:17.33] Or maybe a war,
[01:20.69] or I may kill you all
[01:52.53] Don't let me stay,
[01:54.29] don't let me stay
[01:55.80] My logic says burn so send me away
[01:59.22] Your minds are too green,
[02:00.93] I despise all I've seen
[02:02.77] You can't stake your lives
[02:04.52] on a Saviour Machine
[02:26.33] I need you flying,
[02:32.77] and I'll show that dying
[02:39.85] Is living beyond reason,
[02:47.94] sacred dimension of time
[02:57.08] I perceive every sign,
[03:01.04] I can steal every mind
[03:32.50] Don't let me stay,
[03:34.31] don't let me stay
[03:35.91] My logic says burn so send me away
[03:39.17] Your minds are too green,
[03:41.03] I despise all I've seen
[03:42.73] You can't stake your lives
[03:44.49] on a Saviour Machine
