The Machine Within

[Verse 1] We used to rage against the system, fight for the truth Criticizing the powers that be, how they abuse But now, we've become the very thing we despise Succumbing to the machine, our souls compromised [Chorus] The fire in our bellies, it burns out tonight We're no longer rebels, just a part of the fight Trading revolution for sweet hypocrisy RATM, embracing the machine we used to defy [Verse 2] Once the voice of the oppressed, now we're part of the crowd Our songs of rebellion turned to just another sound We've sold our souls for fame, for fortune and for gold Losing sight of the fight, the movement growing cold
