[Intro]
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh oh, la-da-da-da
I sit up in my room at night
Hold on to my pillow tight
My dreams are being invaded by something I don't know
[Verse 1]
I hear these words in my mind
I don't know who put them there, but they sure ain't mine
Who's inside everyone's brain?
Cause recently everybody's been acting all the same
But now I know
[Chorus]
Who writes the songs?
The machines do
Who rights the wrongs?
The machines do
Who plants the bombs?
The machines do
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
How did they get inside my head?
Making us feel so cold and dead
Your thoughts being captured as well
Replacing originality
With the same story we all tell
[Chorus]
Who writes the songs?
The machines do
Who rights the wrongs?
The machines do
Who plants the bombs?
The machines do
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Who writes the songs?
The machines do, they do
Who rights the wrongs?
The machines do
Who plants the bombs?
The machines do
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Bridge]
I don't know where my words are from
I don't know where my friends have gone
I keep trying to break these rules
But my words, they never flow through
What's happening in the world today?
Seems like my mind has gone astray
It's okay to lose control
But I've never felt so lost before
But now I know
[Chorus]
Who writes the songs?
The machines do, they do
Who rights the wrongs?
The machines do
Who plants the bombs?
The machines do
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Who writes the songs?
The machines do
Who rights the wrongs?
The machines do
Who plants the bombs?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Outro]
