The Machine's Breaking Down - Tina Arena

Proven patterns breaking down

All controls gone underground

We should have never come to this

Yet here we stand

Devoid of optimists

The machine’s breaking down

The machine’s breaking down

The machine’s breaking down

We set the wheels in motion

Now we’re caught in the commotion

The machine’s breaking down

Lebanon Iraq Iran

Ethiopia and Afghanistan

Religion and politics, plunder and rape

While the weak cow down

And pray for escape

The machine’s breaking down

The machine’s breaking down

The machine’s breaking down

We set the wheels in motion

Now we’re caught in the commotion

The machine’s breaking down

Addicts bent on self-destruction
