Born natural machines
|
For changing information
|
Changing me
|
Ride the River out of Eden
|
The flow of change comes slow
|
But constantly
|
|
Day by day I compete
|
New brothers in the pool, but wait
|
Most of them won't stay
|
Guiding chaos into order
|
Genetic symphony goes on
|
A brand new score to play
|
|
Take a strand of DNA
|
Slight mutation every day
|
Survive so I can make my way
|
And be passed down - down
|
|
You - Them - Him - Her
|
I drive you
|
Need to survive you
|
I'll work you like a clock
|
I write your story
|
|
Does our hero live or die
|
Remains yet to be seen
|
I need you to survive
|
You're my machine
|
|
Survival of the species
|
Third in line behind the gene
|
Behind me
|
Compared with the machine
|
The bloodline doesn't prove as thick
|
Or change a thing
|
|
I'm afraid of crossing over
|
I try to stay alive in you
|
Your life paves my way
|
If I really won this fight
|
If I am intact I will
|
Construct without delay
|
|
A brand new score to play
|
|
Take a strand of DNA
|
Slight mutation every day
|
Survive so I can make my way
|
And be passed down - down
|
|
You - Them - Him - Her
|
I drive you
|
Need to survive you
|
I'll work you like a clock
|
I write your story
|
|
Does our hero live or die
|
Remains yet to be seen
|
I need you to survive
|
You're my machine
|
|
Mother - Father - Sister - Brother
|
They fight me
|
They try to hide me
|
Inside where I belong
|
I have played my part
|
|
You - Me - We - Are
|
You are me
|
Think through it clearly
|
You work me like a clock
|
You write my story
|
|
Does our hero live or die
|
Remains yet to be seen
|
I need you to survive
|
You're my machine
|
