Damn the machine, blame it on the weather man!
Warnings out, warnings up, never got the telegram.
Run for your life cause the bulletins are flying in
And no one seems to mind…. No one seems to mind.

Dam up your ears, here comes Mister Everyman
Racing down my street, the dogged on the news again.
Smash up the place, find another alibi,
But not this time…no, not this time.

And she said…
I can't move, so I can't sleep
With another boring day and another friend like you!
I can't move, so I can't sleep
And the motto nowadays is another one you know:
DAMN THE MACHINE!!

Hole in the air leaking out intelligence.
My reception sucks patch me through to the President.
Running in the dark for five or ten minutes more,
But I can't wait…no, I can't wait for you!

Damn the machine, blame it on a friend again!
Warnings out, warnings up, never got the telegram.
Run for the cause, and proud to be a part of it.
Did anyone look my way? I said, did anyone look my way?


DAMN THE MACHINE!!
DAMN THE MACHINE!!
DAMN THE MACHINE!!
