Mother Machine Lyrics
Incomplete, cast in the concrete
Walk the city streets
Granite sky
My machine built the factories
Feeds the worker bees
Get in line
Round and round and round
The wheels come down
Dreaming of the steam
The pounding sounds
Round and round and round
The wheels come down
Won't you electrify my soul
Intensify it all
Little girl in a concrete world
Artificial hurt
In your eyes
You won't see any living trees
Any flower fields in my time
Round and round and round
The wheels come down
Dreaming of the steam
The pounding sounds
Round and round and round
The wheels come down
Won't you electrify my soul
Intensify it all
I like the plastic people paper world
The silver moon, the iron sun
I'll fold you paper flowers little girl
For you'll never see a real one
Round and round and round
The wheels come down
Dreaming of the steam
The pounding sounds
Round and round and round
The wheels come down
Won't you electrify my soul
Intensify it all
Walk the city streets
Granite sky
My machine built the factories
Feeds the worker bees
Get in line
The wheels come down
Dreaming of the steam
The pounding sounds
Round and round and round
The wheels come down
Won't you electrify my soul
Intensify it all
Artificial hurt
In your eyes
You won't see any living trees
Any flower fields in my time
The wheels come down
Dreaming of the steam
The pounding sounds
Round and round and round
The wheels come down
Won't you electrify my soul
Intensify it all
The silver moon, the iron sun
I'll fold you paper flowers little girl
For you'll never see a real one
The wheels come down
Dreaming of the steam
The pounding sounds
Round and round and round
The wheels come down
Won't you electrify my soul
Intensify it all

Metropolis all the way! Love this song! Here's my own spin

I love the line:
I like the plastic people paper world
I have been burnt so many times by supposed trustworthy people that I live this this lyric. People are self-serving egotists willing to sell anything to attain their personal goals! Their world is a fairy tale construction full of self-serving falsehoods! It doesn't take much to bring people's world crashing down; divorce, $$$, loss of career, etc.
