lyrics

Machine Beer

There is a fine house on the hill
All waiting and ready
For a man whose intentions are clear
And whose gaze is steady
And I have heard of such a place
Whose gates are open to those sincere
But I’d rather be a big fat liar
Chokin’ down machine beer

The parties there were good
For those who feel normal
They drank fine wine
Get me a funnel!
Then tell me “from a distance”
Of your good intention
And I will be a character
Of less than one dimension
But after all the wine is gone
I will shed no tear
“Cause I’d rather be down on the street
Chokin’ down machine beer

Machine beer / Fresh, bold
Machine beer / Ice, Cold
Machine beer / Low Price
Machine beer it’s so nice!

I throw the empties in the trash
‘Cause I’m a good citizen
Don’t wanna end up
In a holding pen
Because there is no future in
eating hot Beefaroni from a can
That machine stands there
And that is not the plan
I wanna be in a special place
Where billionaires run free
But ‘til that day comes
Machine beer’s all right for me

Machine beer / Fresh and bold
Machine beer / Ice Cold
Machine beer / Low Price
Machine beer it’s so nice!
