How The Steel Was Tempered Lyrics - Singles - Omnitron

A million workers, bricks in a wall, cogs in a machine 

But walls can fall and machines can rust if you fail to keep them clean 

Selected mating, tainted childhood favours malleable youth 

Go 

It takes a shoreline to harbour a fleet 

If you don't like the flowers you can crush them under your feet 

But there's someone driving from the back seat 

A new tomorrow 

An old today 

You shouldn't buy what you can borrow 

Don't walk on the water, if the water's not frozen 

Don't die before birth if you want to get chosen 

When harvester is hungry you don't give it barren earth 

No 

It takes a life to die, chemicals to sleep 

If you like you can help the butchers counting sheep 

But there's someone laughing in the back seat 

The price of tomorrow 

Is set today 

I will not buy what i can borrow
