Trapped in the Machine Lyrics

Well the opera house has been closed since late September
But the old man sits outside, rain or shine
No one there to lift a finger, dying world outside my window
Yes, I know
I know, we're trapped in the machine
Oh yes, I know we're trapped in the machine

The old man shouts, sheep look up, where you going?
For the grass isn't greener on the other side of the hill
Man's ship he's sailing, has run aground
If the earth stops breathing, who'd here the sound
No one there to lift a finger, dying world outside my window
The earth stops breathing, who'd hear this sound

We're trapped in the machine
Oh yes I know, we're trapped in the machine, yeah
See, outside my window
A dying world is disappearing here
Feel the air I'm breathing, it's tearing me in two
Oh I know, hold my arms out wide
And reach across the world
I really know, I know, I know

We're trapped in the machine
Oh yes I know, we're trapped in the machine
Oh yes I know, we're trapped in the machine
Oh yes I know, we're trapped in the machine
Say yes, my world is disappearing
And I don't know what to do
I throw my arms around you babe, everything's blue
I can't believe in the world this way
They're taking my world, and they're turning away from me
Yeah, we're trapped in the machine
Oh we're trapped in the machine
We're trapped in the machine
