So many times you brought me down
I don't know why I'm hangin' around
If you think I'm giving up,
Think you'd better keep your big mouth shut

Silent winner in the game,
But for you I feel ashamed
You took everything I had,
I just heard revenge don't feel too bad

Give me
My place in the machine

Line 'em up, shoot 'em down
I bet you think you own this town
I got news and it ain't good
Can't believe you ever thought you could

Killin' you, killin' time
I'll face your face man, anytime
Someone tampered with your soul
Pullin' your strings like a puppet show

Give me
My place in the machine

Like a snake in the grass
Throwing stones, house of glass
Soldier boy you lost your gun
You lost the war, so I guess you're done

Give me
My place in the machine.
