Saviour machine

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
´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
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
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
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
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
´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
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
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
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
