Infernal Machines

Machines that do this, machines that do that

Machines that go hiss, machines that go crack

Machines that will give us the things that we lack

Machines that do this, machines that do that

Machines that do all the things we cannot

Machines that recall the things we forgot

Machines in our offices, schools and shops

Machines that do all the things we cannot

Machines down below, machines up above

Machines making clothes, machines making love

These are the things that dreams are made of

Machines down below, machines up above

Machines that go ping, machines that go pong

Machines that can sing machine-written songs

Machines that can think, that know right from wrong

Machines that go ping, machines that go pong

Machines for the boys, machines for the girls

Machines that make toys, machines that make

Murderous plans to destroy, take over the world

Machines for the boys, machines for the girls

Machines that will take, machines that will give

Machines that will wake, machines that will live

Machines that will make mistakes, and that is

The trouble with these infernal machines
