Feed The Machine Lyrics

Addressing those beneath from high above
Convincing his belief for what you love
Baiting every hook with filthy lies
Another charlatan to idolize

Is this suppression just in my mind? (just in my mind?)
No more questions, get back in line! (just get back in line!)

You pay with your life
The duller the knife, the longer it takes (the longer it takes)
But now it's your turn
The ashes will burn, and wither away
Leaving your bones out on the stones, picking them clean (picking them clean)
And carving the truth, while harvesting you to feed the machine (to feed the machine)

The gears forever turn to grind the mice
Will you become the fuel for sacrifice?
Power absolutely all for show
The piper blows his flute and off you go

Is this obsession behind your eyes? (behind your eyes?)
No more questions, get back in line! (just get back in line!)

You pay with your life
The duller the knife, the longer it takes (the longer it takes)
But now it's your turn
The ashes will burn, and wither away
Leaving your bones out on the stones, picking them clean (picking them clean)
And carving the truth, while harvesting you to feed the machine (to feed the machine)

Why must the blind always lead the blind?
(Get back in line! Get back in line!)
Why do I feel like the fault is mine?
(Get back in line! Get back in line!)
Why must the weakest be sacrificed?
(Get back in line! Get back in line!)
No more questions, get back in line! (just get back in line!)

Pay with your life
The duller the knife, the longer it takes (the longer it takes)
But now it's your turn
The ashes will burn, and wither away (wither away)
Leaving your bones out on the stones, picking them clean (picking them clean)
And carving the truth, while harvesting you to feed the machine (to feed the machine)
To feed the machine

What is the Meaning of Feed The Machine?

Ever feel like you're just another cog in the grand machine of life? Well, Nickelback's got your back with this hard-hitting anthem. The song is a scathing critique of societal manipulation and control. It paints a grim picture where leaders preach deceit from their ivory towers, turning us into obedient drones. The lyrics suggest that we're fed lies and led blindly, all while our individuality is sacrificed for the greater "machine." It's a call to wake up and see the truth behind those who pull the strings. So, next time someone tells you to "get back in line," remember: it's okay to question authority and refuse to be just another piece of fuel for their relentless grind.
