lyrics

The Machine
Greg Ronning
(Capo 2)

Bm (Am) A (G) Bm (Am) A (G)
I don’t want to be a part of the machine anymore
I don’t want to be a part of the machine anymore

G (F) A (G)
I’m the one asking questions
D (C) F#m7 (Em7) Bm (Am)
The one shuffled out the door
G (F) A (G)
I don’t want the company line
F# (E)
I need something more (Chorus)

I felt completely empty
After years of service and sacrifice
Always working against the grain
‘Till my tears opened up my eyes (Chorus)

I want to hear a different voice
Allow more people to believe
If we can’t talk anymore
It’s time for me to leave (Chorus)
