Saviour Machine (Bowie) - 4:26

President Joe once had a dream.
The world held his hand, gave their pledge
So he told them his scheme for a Saviour
Machine

They called it the Prayer, its answer was
law
Its logic stopped war, gave them food
How they adored till it cried in its boredom

'Please don't believe in me, please
disagree with me
Life is too easy, a plague seems quite
feasible now,
or maybe a war, or I may kill you all.

Don't let me stay, don't let me stay.
My logic says burn so send me away
Your minds are too green, I despise all I've
seen
You can't stake your lives on a Saviour
Machine

I need you flying, and I'll show that dying
Is living beyond reason, sacred dimension
of time
I perceive every sign, I can steal every mind


Don't let me stay, don't let me stay
My logic says burn so send me away
Your minds are too green, I despise all I've
seen
You can't stake your lives on a Saviour
Machine.
