This home ain't cold, this hate is just desolate
We're made of broken machines who manufacture regret
I'm automatic outside and obsolete from within
My whole life has felt like nothing more than worthless unfulfilled useless empty possessions
Covered in sores, and slicked down with gasoline
The only way you can live is in this broken routine
They've predetermined your lives to keep you preoccupied
The kids are all watered down now and they're ready to die Teenage Hate Machine
Teenage Hate Machine
Politicians and liars, with plastic smiles and Corvettes
And then they deformed their youth and neutralize all their threats
Their wheelchairs sitting on top, within their obsessive grip
Now the future's anemic, we've become debilitated kings to this world of shit
Make revolution commercial, but you can't purchase self-worth
Our gods are sick engineers, creations thrive in the dirt
You feel guilty and dirty, but you'll never get clean
Hate it all more - But you're too busy doing nothing, being nothing, Hate Machine
Teenage Hate Machine
Buy up their solutions, after all you're so broke
Swallowing lies, pills of artificial hope
I've seen you over and over, one million times like a fly
Everybody's fucking famous, consumed by that shit and eating up the rest of their lies
In our own minds, we don't feed the machine
But your Pseudo-Fame-Narcissus feels just like Vaseline
Lubricating their game, you blind your eyes on your own
And it's for no one, it's for nothing, by tomorrow its all gone now, Teenage Hate Machine
