The Gene Machine Lyrics

The Gene Machine lyrics

[Music: Pauly/LaBrie/Guadagnoli]

[Lyrics: Pauly/Cash/Guadagnoli]

[Feat. Nik Guadagnoli - additional guitars]



Born natural machines

For changing information

Changing me

Ride the River out of Eden

The flow of change comes slow

But constantly



Day 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 play



Take a strand of DNA

Slight mutation every day

Survive so I can make my way

And be passed down - down



You - Them - Him - Her

I drive you

Need to survive you

I'll work you like a clock

I write your story



Does our hero live or die

Remains yet to be seen

I need you to survive

You're my machine



Survival 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 thing



I'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 delay



A brand new score to play



Take a strand of DNA

Slight mutation every day

Survive so I can make my way

And be passed down - down



You - Them - Him - Her

I drive you

Need to survive you

I'll work you like a clock

I write your story



Does our hero live or die

Remains yet to be seen

I need you to survive

You're my machine



Mother - Father - Sister - Brother

They fight me

They try to hide me

Inside where I belong

I have played my part



You - Me - We - Are

You are me

Think through it clearly

You work me like a clock

You write my story



Does our hero live or die

Remains yet to be seen

I need you to survive

You're my machine
