The Gene Machine Lyrics - Singles - Frameshift

[Music: Pauly/LaBrie/Guadagnoli] 

[Lyrics: Pauly/Cash/Guadagnoli] 

Born natural machines 

For changing information 

Changing me 

Ride the River out of Eden 

The flow of change comes slow 

But constantly 

Day by day I compete 

New brothers in the pool, but wait 

Most of them won't stay 

Guiding chaos into order 

Genetic symphony goes on 

A brand new score to play 

Take a strand of DNA 

Slight mutation every day 

Survive so I can make my way 

And be passed down - down 

You - Them - Him - Her 

I drive you 

Need to survive you 

I'll work you like a clock 

I write your story 

Does our hero live or die 

Remains yet to be seen 

I need you to survive 

You're my machine 

Survival of the species 

Third in line behind the gene 

Behind me 

Compared with the machine 

The bloodline doesn't prove as thick 

Or change a thing 

I'm afraid of crossing over 

I try to stay alive in you 

Your life paves my way 

If I really won this fight 

If I am intact I will 

Construct without delay 

A brand new score to play 

Take a strand of DNA 

Slight mutation every day 

Survive so I can make my way 

And be passed down - down 

You - Them - Him - Her 

I drive you 

Need to survive you 

I'll work you like a clock 

I write your story 

Does our hero live or die 

Remains yet to be seen 

I need you to survive 

You're my machine 

Mother - Father - Sister - Brother 

They fight me 

They try to hide me 

Inside where I belong 

I have played my part 

You - Me - We - Are 

You are me 

Think through it clearly 

You work me like a clock 

You write my story 

Does our hero live or die 

Remains yet to be seen 

I need you to survive 

You're my machine
