lyrics

Look up! Is something telling you to run?
What do the animals say?
Follow your instinct and get out of the way
Before the dam collapses and the pipeline breaks
The fire surrounds you and the fracked earth quakes
It’s all part of the price we’re supposed to pay

To live the easy life
For the machine to run
It takes a sacrifice
Somebody pays in blood
Put your kids up on the cross
Feed your town to the fire
Dump the river full of oil
Before the toxic flood
Make a tribute to the Gods

Did you hear it in a dream?
The way the branches snap
Trust the predator instinct!
Step away from the trap
Before the shots ring out and the cameras roll
The glass shatters and the blood hits the floor
The ritual begins and the crows are all flying away

From the sacrifice
For the machine to run
To live the easy life
Somebody pays in blood
Put your kids up on the cross
Feed your town to the fire
Dump the river full of oil
Before the toxic flood
Another tribute to the Gods
Or just a body in the pit?

When you reached out to take the deal
Did they just leave you there to bleed?
You made a bargain for comfort
But the machine still needs to feed
Thru the school shooter and the poisoned land
The priest at the altar with the knife in his hand
Shortest straw pulled in a game you didn’t know you were playing

It takes a sacrifice
For the machine to run
To live the easy life
Somebody pays in blood
Put your kids up on the cross
Feed your town to the fire
Dump the river full of oil
Before the toxic flood
Are you a tribute to the Gods
Or just a body in the pit?
