[Verse 1]
We are, we are
The machines
We'll play games for you
Come inside
You're welcome to choose

[Chorus]
She is a new fascination
The cold face of love
He is a puppet who dances and
Screams with "the fear"
We'll show you religion
We'll show you a new god
We'll show you the secret of love

[Verse 2]
Roll up, roll up
We are clean
We serve you, just for now
We are friends
They call me "the priest"

[Chorus]
She is a new fascination
The cold face of love
He is a puppet who dances and
Screams with "the fear"
We'll show you religion
We'll show you a new god
We'll show you the secret of love

[Verse 3]
Welcome, welcome
We are good
No one cries for you
We are kind
You'll stay here forever

[Chorus]
She is a new fascination
The cold face of love
He is a puppet who dances and
Screams with "the fear"
We'll show you religion
We'll show you a new god
We'll show you the secret of fear

[Outro]
Welcome
We are good
We are kind
We are clean
We are friends
Come in, come inside
We are the machines
Welcome
