You Can't Stop The Machine

The girl sat me down with a coffee and she said:
'You can't stop the machine.
Waste all your energy shouting at the crowd,
You can't stop the machine.
Crawl onto the battlefield to steal from the dead,
you can't stop the machine.

You can't stop the machine.
You can't stop the machine.
You can't stop the machine.'

I waited til the girl had a mouthful of toast
The I said: 'I know what you mean

but
I don't want to stop the machine,
I don't want to stop the machine, 
I don't want to stop the machine,

I just want to leave.'
