ghost in the machine

I listened to my teachers,

believed the words that they said,

didn't know you were preachers,

propaganda filling our heads.

you were wrong

(chorus)

ghost in the machine,

stranger than a dream,

in this flesh abides,

ghost in the machine,

I am the,

ghost in the machine

you said I was a monkey,

you said I was a mistake,

you thought I would submit,

thought my mind was yours to take.

you were wrong.

(chorus)

ghost in the machine,

stranger than a dream,

in this flesh abides,

ghost in the machine,

I am the,

ghost in the machine

from ancient days we've known,

this body houses a soul,

and when this body breaks down,

a new story will unfold,

you were wrong.

(chorus)

ghost in the machine,

stranger than a dream,

in this flesh abides,

ghost in the machine,

I am the,

ghost in the machine

now listen and take heed,

I'll tell you how I died,

felt my body receding,

falling away to the side.

I didn't move the least bit,

though separated from it

I was still me.

(chorus)

ghost in the machine,

stranger than a dream,

in this flesh abides,

ghost in the machine,

I am the,

ghost in the machine

I know this life is fleeting,

and I will go on to more,

I have a Divine meeting,

that I'm really longing for,

so get ready

(chorus)

ghost in the machine,

stranger than a dream,

in this flesh abides,

ghost in the machine,

I am the,

ghost in the machine

(chorus)

ghost in the machine,

stranger than a dream,

in this flesh abides,

ghost in the machine,

I am the,

ghost in the machine
