lyrics

I’m hungry and i have no home
My kids have no place to grow
And i might get, i might get sick and die
Is it the virus that will get me sick
Or is this system, that we all grew in
And i might get, i might get sick and die

And it is this machine
That destroys your life

I’m a doctor and i have no mask
I’m a fighter in the front line
And i might get, i might get sick and die
I’m your neighbour and i have to go to work
I need the money or else i will starve
And i might get, i might get sick and die

And it is this machine
That destroys our lives

I’m a rich man and i stay home
I have no worries i can pay it all
And i might get, i might get sick and die
I’m a president, a religious man
Now it’s my chance to destroy the weak
And i might get, i might get sick and die

And it is this machine
That destroys our lives

I live in a ghetto, in a refugee camp
Nobody cares if i survive
And i might get, i might get sick and die
I’m an old man and i have a disease
Nobody gives a shit if i live
And i might get, i might get sick and die

And it is this machine
That destroys our lives
And it is this machine
That destroys our lives
And it is this machine
That destroys our lives
