Damn the Machine
Drilling in the center of my mind
One evil dream
The annihilation of mankind

The stern-faced leaders in their temple of doom
Creating nightmares made for me and for you

Damn the machine
The enemy is stalking in the void
One evil dream
The engine's running faster to destroy

Here come the raiders they're invading us all
We stand in silence with our backs to the wall

Once I believed in the voice of a god
The god of creation is gone

A call from the heart to the god of love
Send us an angel, a sign from above
All of the damned and a silent scream
Save us and damn the machine

The curse - fortold in prophecies is haunting us now
The world - a creeping agony and there's no way out

Caught in illusions I'm screaming in pain
The demon is corroding my brain

A call from the heart to the god of love
Send us an angel, a sign from above
All of the damned and a silent scream
Save us and damn the machine

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
