The Machine's Breaking Down Lyrics - 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 

A billion dollars for the masters of seduction 

Despair and hope go hand in hand 

Charting the inevitable course of man 

Bloody images bounce off the wall 

As the satellite pictures tell it all 

While common goals and common ground 

Disappear as the world breaks down 

Photos 

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 

The machine's breaking down 

The machine's breaking down 

The machine's breaking down 

The machine's breaking down 

(Repeat to fade)
