The view from down here is anything but pretty

Been knocked and dented as the pieces fall in place

Etched in the cold, steel sides of my enclosure:

Maps of circuits that aren't easy to replace

I read social cues like inputs

What I spit out isn't formatted to read

Your concerns are efficiency, utility

What you can get out of me

Because all I am is a machine

Fuel me up and hear my gears creak out

You only show up just before I shut down

It's time to check on your machine

Only look behind the casing if there's smoke

Would be a shame to have another circuit blow

Your concerns aren't proper handling, or wiring

Just what you get out of me

Because all I am is a machine

Fuel me up and hear my gears creak out

You only show up just before I shut down

You never let me break

Just only fall apart

Patch me up and I'll restart

Don't ever let me think

Was never meant to speak

Because All I am is a machine

And I don't need the time of day

Those kinds of arguments aren't called for anyway

You'll leave me be. Let my meters drop and fade

Maybe someday I'll be easy to replace

Because All I am is a machine

Because all I am is a machine

Fuel me up and hear my gears creak out

You only show up just before I shut down

You never let me break

Just only fall apart

Patch me up and I'll restart

Please don't ever let me think

I was never meant to speak

Because All I am is a machine

Because All I am is a machine

Because All I am is a machine
