The Gene Machine Lyrics

[Music: Pauly/LaBrie/Guadagnoli]
[Lyrics: Pauly/Cash/Guadagnoli]Born natural machines
For changing information
Changing me
Ride the River out of Eden
The flow of change comes slow
But constantlyDay by day I compete
New brothers in the pool, but wait
Most of them won't stay
Guiding chaos into order
Genetic symphony goes on
A brand new score to playTake a strand of DNA
Slight mutation every day
Survive so I can make my way
And be passed down - downYou - Them - Him - Her
I drive you
Need to survive you
I'll work you like a clock

I write your storyDoes our hero live or die
Remains yet to be seen
I need you to survive
You're my machineSurvival of the species
Third in line behind the gene
Behind me
Compared with the machine
The bloodline doesn't prove as thick
Or change a thingI'm afraid of crossing over
I try to stay alive in you
Your life paves my way
If I really won this fight
If I am intact I will
Construct without delayA brand new score to playTake a strand of DNA
Slight mutation every day
Survive so I can make my way
And be passed down - downYou - Them - Him - Her
I drive you
Need to survive you
I'll work you like a clock
I write your storyDoes our hero live or die
Remains yet to be seen
I need you to survive
You're my machineMother - Father - Sister - Brother
They fight me
They try to hide me
Inside where I belong
I have played my partYou - Me - We - Are
You are me
Think through it clearly
You work me like a clock
You write my storyDoes our hero live or die
Remains yet to be seen
I need you to survive
You're my machine
