about

Originally recorded in 2011. Vocals re-recorded and remixed in 2023.

lyrics

I hear the clunking of gears
Made long ago by some ancient engineer
And they're not here anymore

All engines suffer wear and tear
And we know how to run it but
We don't know how to repair
And when this engine breaks down

It'll come down on you
Like a tonne of beans
And you'll have plenty of food
But you'll never be seen again
On you like a tonne of beans
We're all lost
In this giant machine with our friends

It seems the system's getting stale
We're told it's too big to fail
We'll just have to take their word

Nobody understands how it works
Trading future stocks
For physical jerks
And if you try to opt out

They'll come down on you
Like a tonne of beans
And you'll have plenty of food
But you'll never be seen again
On you like a tonne of beans
We're all lost
In this giant machine with our friends
All lost
In this giant machine with our friends
All lost
In this giant machine
It depends
If you're willing to fake it to make
Enough money to leave and never return
