[Verse]

President Joe once had a dream

The world held his hand, gave their pledge

So he told them his scheme for a Saviour Machine

They called it The Prayer, its answer was law

Its logic stopped war, gave them food

How they adored till it cried in its boredom:


[Pre-Chorus 1]

"Please don't believe in me

Please disagree with me

Life is too easy

A plague seems quite feasible now

Or maybe a war

Or I may kill you all"


[Chorus]

Don't let me stay, don't let me stay

My logic says burn, so send me away

Your minds are too green, I despise all I've seen

You can't stake your lives on a Saviour Machine


[Pre-Chorus 2]

I need you flying

And I'll show that dying

Is living beyond reason

Sacred dimension of time

I perceive every sign

I can steal every mind


[Chorus]

Don't let me stay, don't let me stay

My logic says burn, so send me away

Your minds are too green, I despise all I've seen

You can't stake your lives on a Saviour Machine
