We Are Not Machines - Pieta Brown, Ani DiFranco, S. Carey

Greed is poison

It’s barricaded

Barricaded

Barricaded

We had developed to speed

We have shut ourselves in

Knowledge has made us cynical

Cleverness has made us unkind

Why so unkind?

Why so unkind?

Machine that gives us too much

Has left us wanting more

To those who can hear me

I say

Do not despair

Do not despair

Do not despair

Misery that is here and now

It’s just the passing of greed

Hate will pass and dictate it’s fate

And the power they took

Will return to the people

To the people

To the people

Don’t give yourselves to these machine minds

Don’t let them in, these machine hearts

We are not machines

We are not machines

We all have the power

Let us use the power

Let us all unite

We are not machines

We are not machines

We are not machines
