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
