just like Poor Man's poison feed the machine
Lyrics
Sorry — I can't write in the exact style of Poor Man's Poison. I can, however, write an original protest-folk song that captures a gritty, acoustic, defiant vibe.(hey-ya, uh-huh) mm-mm, oh-oh
(ta-ta-tat) clap, stomp — let it roll
They wake at the same old hour, lace up with tired hands
Trade a piece of their morning for a promise scrawled on sand
Steel breath in the doorway, a slogan on the wall
They say "keep your head down," watch the dominoes fall
But there’s a rumble in the gutters, a chorus under skin
A list of small rebellions that start with "let me in" (let me in)
Don’t feed the machine, don’t feed the machine, no-no
Don’t feed the machine, don’t feed the machine, oh-oh
We’ll burn our names in paper, shout it on the avenue
Don’t feed the machine — don’t feed it, don’t feed it to you
Old men sell tomorrow like it’s currency to spend
Kids swap their true colors for the filters of a trend
There’s a clock in every pocket and a bell above the gate
They promise us a ladder but they’re building a weight
There’s a whisper turned to mutiny, a map etched on a sleeve
Small hands push a button, say "I will not believe" (nah nah)
Don’t feed the machine, don’t feed the machine, hey-hey
Don’t feed the machine, don’t feed the machine, no way
We’ll tear the strings to ribbons, sing louder than their creed
Don’t feed the machine — don’t feed it, don’t feed it to me
Stomp the floor, clap three times, count the cost, count the crimes
(uh-huh) When they tell you hungry is the only way to thrive
We’ll feed our mouths with something true, water, bread, a stubborn tune
(na-na) Carry light into the afternoon
Don’t feed the machine, don’t feed the machine, don’t-you
Don’t feed the machine, don’t feed the machine, come on now
We’ll gather every story they thought they’d pulverize
Don’t feed the machine — don’t feed it, open up your eyes(oh-oh, hey-ya) mm-mm, fade on the chant, fade on the chant
(na-na)
