about

It's a manifesto.

lyrics

I'm gonna take all these songs, gonna build a new language
Who’s with me? Who’s with me?
I'm gonna take all these songs, build some new kind of world
Who’s with me? Who’s with me?
I'm gonna take all these songs, gonna build a new logic: who’s with me?
Gonna take all these songs, gonna build a new history
Burn the old one

I'm gonna take all these songs, gonna build a new language
But sometimes, people ask what these songs even mean
As though the point of a song is what it means
But the point of a song, it’s what it does
Yeah the point of a song, it’s not what it means, it’s what it does: a song is a machine: a machine for doing something
A song is a machine: a machine for feeling something
A song is a machine: a machine for making something
Or a machine for breaking something
Or a machine for taking something
Or taking you somewhere

I wanna be a machine

Cos I only wanna live, I only wanna live in the bright world
Yeah I only wanna live, I only wanna live in the bright world
I wanna take all this history, burn it to make electricity
I wanna be a machine
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna

I wanna be a machine
