LA MACHINE Jan. 25/84 Karl Rigelhof

CHORUS:
Look at all the scenery
Made by this machinery
A dream goes in one end
And a scene comes out (of) the other
A scream goes in the other end
And a dream comes out another

Where would we be (you and me)
Without the machine
To give us time to be free
To paint the forests green

Where would we go
Without the machine
To take us to and fro
Through the transport screen

What would we do (me and you)
Without the machine
To give us something new
To satisfy our dreams

What would we think
Without the machine
To take us to the brink
And down into the ravine

How would we live
Without the machine
With everything it gives
And with everything it's been

How would we know
Without the machine
How far will we grow
The future lies unforeseen

Why would we fight
Without the machine
To set the world right
To control our laser beams

Why would we survive
Without the machine
To keep us alive
To show us what it means

Who would we trust
Without the machine
To tell us what is just
And nothing in between

Who would we become
Without the machine
To finish what we've begun
And polish it to a sheen

When would we sleep
Without the machine
To help progress creep
Beyond our wildest schemes

When will the day come
Without the machine
Left as the only one
To replace us human beings
