Album: Silver Age
You had a chance to go around the world
But you had to be a silly bird
A revelation wouldn’t matter much to you
Silly bird, you bought a lousy dream
You took a number from the star machine
The star machine is spitting numbers out on you
You leave your family and some friends behind
It wasn’t long until you lost your mind
The star machine is doing fine but how are you?
You tell the world you had to fire the band
Your little world has gotten out of hand
The star machine will hand your ass right back to you
You say you want it, you say you need it You say it’s everything you ever wanna be The star machine is coming down on you
Now it’s getting hot in here
I’m doing everything you want me to But nothing’s ever good enough for you
You suck the life right out of me You say you want it, you say you need it You say it’s everything you ever wanna be The star machine is coming down on you
You told your story, how you were treated
You couldn’t handle it and now you feel defeated
The star machine is taking all the life from you
