The Machine Stops Testo

Order, perfection
They've answered our questions
Removed all the guesswork
It's blissful existence
Machines has improved us
Tamed us and ruled us
A happy submission
It houses and moves us
Machine is our teacher
Machine is our master
Our helper, our healer
Our shield from disaster
But when will it happen
A simple malfunction
A slight hesitation
And everything stops
You won't feel it when the temperature drops
You won't be there, and I won't be there
Butwho will be there when the machine stops
Music to soothe us
Rooms to confine us
We've lost all relations
Now humans confuse us
Speak to a screen
It's your son or your mother
You don't need to move
So why would you bother
Your dreams have been programmed
Your thoughts regulated
Rebellion is useless
We've all been sedated
You won't be there
And I won't be there
But who will be there
When the machine stops?
You won't feel it when the temperature drops
You won't be there, and I won't be there
Butwho will be there when the machine stops
Reject connection, reject senstion
Fill your mind until the temperature drops
Replace emotion with information
It's all you need until the machine stops
Search for the light
Go into the open
Gasping for breath
When there's nothing to breathe
Machine is your savior
Machine your religion
Your logic is progress
Machine is the measure
But who will survive us
Who will replace us
And who will be there
When the machine stops?
