Star Machine Lyrics - Silver Age - Bob Mould

You had a chance to go around the world 

But you had to be a silver bird 

A revelation wouldn't matter much to you 

So I heard you bought a lousy dream 

You took a number from the star machine 

The star machine is spitting numbers all on you 

You say it 

You say it 

You say it 

You say it 

You leave your family and some friends behind 

It wasn't long until you lost your mind 

The star machine is doing fine, but how are you? 

You told the world you had to fire the band 

Your little world has gotten out of hand 

The star machine will hand your ass right back to you 

You say you want it, you say you need it (You say it) 

You say it's everything you ever wanna be, yeah (You say it) 

The star machine is coming down on you (You say it) 

And you and you and you (You say it) 

You say you want it, you say you need it (You say it) 

You say it's everything you ever wanna be, yeah (You say it) 

The star machine is coming down on you oh yeah (You say it) 

Now it's getting hot in here 

I'm doing everything you want me to 

But nothing's ever good enough for you 

You sign on right out of here 

You say you want it, you say you need it (You say it) 

You say it's everything you ever wanna be, yeah (You say it) 

The star machine is coming down on you (You say it) 

and you and you and you (You say it) 

You told your story, how you were treated (You say it) 

You couldn't handle it, and now you feel defeated (You say it) 

Your star machine has taken all away from you and you and you (You say it) 

You say it, and you 

You say it 

You say it
