Garth Brooks Lyrics
"Man Against Machine"

"Man Against Machine"

Papa
They're waiting just outside my door
This is where I make make my stand
Because I can't stand it anymore

Papa
They have no heart and soul
But make no doubt about it
They're the ones that' in control
So prepare yourself for a war unlike anything you've ever seen
This is man against machine

(Work, Work, Work)

Day in day out
Bust your back and turn it out
Next bought and do it all again
Hard job or two
So your children won't have to
That's just the ways its always been
But lately I swear that lately the machine
Are living the American dream

Careful calculations
Details drawn down to design
Is it really for the better or a better bottom line
Don't know me from Adam
Man it's rotten to the core
Stronger now reminded that man's kicked its ass before
The gloves are off
In this war of man against machine
Work
Work
Work

Up early up hills
Spend your youth to pay the bills
Each generation makes a trade
Top Floor brass tax
Holds the hand that holds the ax
Acts like my dues have not been paid
But pay attention now when I say
Formation isn't happening today

Careful calculations
Details drawn down to design
Is it really for the better or a better part of life
Don't know me from Adam it's rotten to the core
Stronger now reminded that man's kicked its ass before
Drop hammer's going to blow off some steam
In this war of man against machine
Work
Work
Work

Papa
The power's off the machines are down
In this world of darkness
I can still hear a sound

Papa
That sound tears us apart
Cause I'm a machine myself
But I am one with a working heart

Careful calculations
Details drawn down to design
Is it really for the better or a better bottom line
Don't know me from Adam
Man it's rotten to the core
Stronger now reminded that man's kicked its ass before
The gloves are off
In this war of man against machine
Work
Work
Work
