Block Lyrics

Hate breeds hate my eyes they have seen
The decimation of all that is pure, pure
A system that feeds their machine with
The blood, sweat and money of the poor, poor
Corruption gets rich, honesty just exists
'Cause nobody cares anymore, anymore

Fuck it all
Fuck it all

White attack black, black attack back
The fuckin' media keeps us all blind, blind
Children on crack, junkies on smack
You wanna close your eyes to hide, hide
Pollution so dense, sickening existence
New world order, new world decline, decline

Fuck it all
Fuck it all

The more intense the sense of ignorance
The more intense then is the pain

Hate breeds hate my eyes they have seen
the decimation of all that is pure, pure
A system that feeds their machine with
The blood, sweat and money of the poor, poor
Believe in something if it stops your suffering
'Cause all we have is nothing

Nothing
Fuck it all

Cover art for Block lyrics by Machine Head

This song delves into societal decay, corruption, and the cycle of hate in media and how it's been manipulated; It also talks about drug addiction and social injustice that comes as a result. The phrase "Hate breeds hate" is what this track revolves around, encapsulating the idea that media fuels negative emotions and perpetuates a cycle of violence and suffering. It highlights how the information is twisted to serve the interests of the powerful, leaving the vulnerable even more exposed to exploitation. Drug addiction is the resolution of the despair felt by many, as they use it as a means of escape from a harsh reality; Individuals are often left to fend for themselves in a system that neglects their needs. Crimes against many minorities get twisted in ways to make the minorities the criminals in acts of hate; A facet of life that has never faded away.

I love this song, Its about how the media is full of shit and politicians are only out for themselves.

It was going to be called Fuck it all but then I guess on the album it would be **** it all :-/. Great song I wish Machine Head would go back to the way they were people say they are but I don't really believe it.

I don't agree.. on each album after BME and TMTC I hear the things that make Machine Head sound like Machine Head. Offcourse they changed their style.. but what if you were in a band (maybe you are)..? Would you like to play the same style for over 10 years? 'cause I wouldn't..

Yeah, I agree with Vomitowski. In my opinion, The Burning Red was a completely kick ass record even though it was different. If you want to listen to the same music over and over, listen to Fear Factory. If they continued on that style then it would just be another 'okay' record in the shadow of Burn My Eyes. Plus, they got Ahrue who helped make their weakest album, consequently leading to their near downfall and his leaving. But that all helped to bring Phil Demmel and create Through The Ashes as well as The Blackening.
