Intro: 
I sit up in my room at night 
Hold on to my pillow tight 
My dreams will be uninvited by something I don’t know 
 
Verse 1: 
I hear these words in my mind 
I don’t know who put them there, but they sure ain’t mine 
Who’s inside everyone’s brain? 
Cause recently everybody’s been acting all the same 
But now I know 
 
Chorus: 
Who writes the songs? 
The machines do 
Who rights the wrongs? 
The machines do 
Who cuts the bonds? 
The machines do 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 
 
Verse 2: 
How did they get inside my head? 
Making me feel so cold and dead 
Your thoughts being caṗtured as well 
I’m locked in a trance, I’m under the spell 
A feel that has moved over me 
They’re squeezing me tight, 
There’s never gonna let me breathe 
They take my heart and they rip it up 
Change it for a broken watch, and now my time is running out 
But now I know 
 
Chorus: 
Who writes the songs? 
The machines do 
Who rights the wrongs? 
The machines do 
Who cuts the bonds? 
The machines do 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 
 
I can feel the tic-tock when I turn my head 
I can feel the tic-tock when I lie in bed 
I can feel the tic-tock dancing in my brain 
I can feel the tic-tock running through my brain 
Oh when the tic-tock stops, yeah my body rocks 
I close my eyes, I get electric shocks 
I feel the metal there in my skin 
They’re gonna win 
 
I am, I am, I am 
I am a machine 
I am, I am, I am 
I am a machine 
 
You’re one of me, I’m one of them 
Say goodbye to the world, we’re never gonna be the same again 
But now I know 
 
Chorus: 
Who writes the songs? 
The machines do 
Who rights the wrongs? 
The machines do 
Who cuts the bonds? 
The machines do 
Who rights the wrongs? 
The machines do 
Who cuts the bonds? 
The machines do 
Who rights the wrongs? 
The machines do 
Who cuts the bonds? 
The machines do 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
