We are the Love Machines
Self-programmed for better things
Fueled by a love supreme
Tiger calls a meeting for Friday night
None of the other animals show ya know
They'd all rather party than fight
Unicorn's spacing out on PCP
Building scale models of dreams
In the hope it'll help them come to be
One's claws out looking for a good fight
One's making plans for living after midnight
They got the battle singing through their veins
You know the weapons are different
but the struggles the same
This is me and you now what we gonna do?
The jungle calls all I hear is the zoo
Feel less like an animal and more like a machine
Seems the least we can do is shake the cage and sing
We are the love machines
Self-programmed for better things
Fueled by a love supreme
We are the love machines
Open eyes and laser beams
Fueled by a love supreme
Now Tiger's rolling through the DMZ
Thinks there might be more to do
than striking fear in heart of the enemy
Unicorn's laying off the PCP
Thinks building dreams might take
more sweat and blood than fantasy
They're taking walks and talking in the moonlight
Making plans to gang up when the time's right
All the poachers tried to keep them apart
Now they quake and quiver when the good stuff starts
This is me and you now what we gonna do?
The jungle calls all I hear is the zoo
Feel less like an animal and more like a machine
Seems the least we can do is shake the cage and sing
We are the love machines
Self-programmed for better things
Fueled by a love supreme
We are the love machines
Open eyes and laser beams
Fueled by a love supreme
I am a love machine
and I know why the caged bird sings
bruised and bloody songs about living in the quarantine
Steel bars and the gaps between
what is and what could be
So we breathe a little air
into all the things we'd like to see
