Just 'cause it's cracked
doesn't mean that it's broke
Just 'cause it's a bu*t
doesn't mean it's a joke
With a heart like an apple
but hard like a stone
Stuck in the mud
'cause it stuck to the bone
...and this is how it starts
and this is what it seems
and this is who we are
and this is what will be
The future is all planned
but now comes to pa**
Artificial man
artificial...
End of the line
look at the time
time ticking
and tell me
that you think it's clean
Where there's a way
there is a lie
everybody
we trusted
not to be
so mean
What we discussed
was so disgusting
filling it up
and busting
at the seams
Putting the peas
out with the pies
everybody combusting
but the bu*tmachine
Cracked like a bell
but don't mean that it rings
And just 'cause it's shiny
don't mean that it's clean
The movement is over
the flush has begun
And just 'cause it's ugly
don't mean it's no fun
...and just because we can
it don't mean
that we should
and just 'cause
it's modern
don't mean
it smells good
Function over form
Fiction over pain
And just because
it's chrome
don't mean
it won't stain
Single the word
double the talk talk
triple the babble
to tell me
what they say
Jingle the bell
held up in heck well
only the funny one
kinda knows
the way
Putting the peas
out with the pies
everybody combusting
but the bu*t
it seems
End of the day
end so abrupt
everybody corrupted
but the bu*tmachine
bu*tmachine...bu*tmachine
I said bu*tmachine...bu*tmachine
bu*tmachine...bu*tmachine
Bu-bu-b-b-bu*tmachine...bu*tmachine
bu*tmachine
...just like I told ya
Sold your soul
...they sold it for ya
Hold your own
...don't let them scold ya
Hold your nose
...they'll blow it for ya
Half of the work
all of the cla**
Can you show us
the reason
that it works
this well
Give it a jerk
spilling the gas
and I betcha
it's silent
but it just might smell
Half of the will
some of the time
All of the reasons
we left it
in the kitchen sink
Shining it up
another bu*t
more than half
of the battle
is that it
just might stink
Quick and the fast
gelatinous ma**
So soft was the goo
and so we
poked right through it
Tree in the woods
making a sound
No one around
and so we
just say screw it
End of the line
look at the time
time ticking
and tell me
that you think
it's clean
Follow your nose
and get the joke
now that nobody's laughing
but the bu*tmachine...
