The corporate beast has got me. I’ve fallen in the trap.
This beast it feeds on me. I’m never coming back.
You’ve sucked the truth out of me. Abolished honesty.
I can’t escape, it’s got me. Independence dying slowly.
Welcome to the Machine
Welcome to the Machine
It’s eating me alive.
Welcome to the Machine
Welcome to the Machine
Sell out your life or die.
In pursuit of your polished altars, you dream in presidents.
Sell your god, sell your faith, and market prices rising fast.
I never asked for this. My intentions were pure.
I never meant to enlist in the corporate music war.
Welcome to the Machine
Welcome to the Machine
It’s eating me alive.
Welcome to the Machine
Welcome to the Machine
Sell out your life or die.
Your world is painted mint green.
You believe green is everything.
This machine has taken me away.
This machine has got me.
The corporate beast has got me. I’ve fallen in the trap.
This beast it feeds on me. I’m never coming back.
Welcome to the Machine
Welcome to the Machine
It’s eating me alive.

Sell out your life or die.
This beast it feeds on me. I’m never coming back.
You’ve sucked the truth out of me. Abolished honesty.
I can’t escape, it’s got me. Independence dying slowly.

"I think I wrote it with an overall sarcastic tone. The whole song is extremely sarcastic. It's not a "shot" at anyone inparticular, its just a parody of the anti-corporate attitude in music. We aim to sign to major label if and when the chance comes. And when that happens, sarcastically - the corporate beast will have us - we will have fallen in the trap - ha. Its basically saying everything that we won't do. We refuse to let someone tell us what type of music expresses us - we refuse to change for anyone. And basically - the "Corporate Beast" will never have us."

that's to that multi-million dollar baptist church that just went up a mile from my house b/c they needed more room from their previous residence.. thanks for putting that money to a good cause instead of helping out someone who really needs it.
