Stop the Machine Lyrics

When the machine came along
Everything went wrong in the city, aha
We'll stand up then and did find them pretty?
But when they started to play they stopped and said: "Hey
Can you tell me if that's the brand new way?"

It is hard to believe that the c***f of the railway station
Came rushing out to look at the new sensation
Then the old and the young who had a tang
They came along to sing my song

Stop the machine
Before it ruins your town
Stop the machine
It's breaking me all down

Well, out of sight
Was the town in the night until sunrise, hey, hey, hey
Oh, we hear the song, jumped to wrong, it was so nice
Well, the old and the young who had a tang
They came along to sing my song

Stop the machine
Before it ruins your town
Stop the machine
It's breaking me all down

Listen to whatever makes, dear
Alright
Listen alright, man
Things are so tough
Police had to move in
The machine had to stop, youngsters cried: "What a big sin"
You knew it was wrong to use their tang
To come along and sing this song

Stop the machine
It's gonna ruin your town
Stop the machine
It's gonna break you down

Stop the machine
