THE LYRICS:

Hey Mr. Muscleman I want you to know
I’m not threatened by the names you call me
Drive my face into the dirt
It’ll only hurt for awhile
Your friends all look so proud
You got blood on my face
And it makes them happy
My murder’s a blessing
My living’s a sin
Because of the hate
Your parents dress you in

Chorus:
Well we all eat and breathe
We like the fight
But the bleeding’s lonely
Then it all comes down on me
Hate is heavy machinery

Little blue car don’t love me no more
Cause there’s part of yourself
You could never love
I never thought you’d speak to me this way
Well there’s part of yourself you could never love
It started out pretty with the stars in your eyes
They asked too many questions
And they vaporized
You speak badly of me like I do of you
We’re fighting secret little agents with bad attitudes….

Repeat Chorus

I’m still burning though it’s after the war
I think I forgot what I was fighting for

Repeat Chorus

See lots of yourself in me…
Hate is heavy machinery.
