Strip the Soul
[Verse 1]
This is my home, this is my own, We don't like no strangers
Raise the kids good, beat the kids good, and tie them up
Spread it wide, my wife, my life, push the camera deeper
I can use, I abuse, my muse, I made them all
[Chorus]
This machine is there to please
Strip the soul, fill the hole
A fire to feed, a belt to bleed
Strip the soul, kill them all
[Verse 2]
They are not gone, they are not gone, they are only sleeping
In graves, in ways, in clay, underneath the floor
Building walls, overalls, getting bored, I got faulty wiring
Brick it up now, brick it up now, but keep the bones
[Chorus]
This machine is there to please
Strip the soul, fill the hole
A fire to feed, a belt to bleed (Do you want a western home in the rubble?)
Strip the soul, kill them all
[Post-Chorus]
Do you want a western home in the rubble?
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
This machine is there to please
Strip the soul, fill the hole
This machine is there to please
Strip the soul, fill the hole
This machine is there to please
Strip the soul, fill the hole
[Outro]
This machine is there to please
Strip the soul, fill the hole
Strip the soul, fill the hole
Strip the soul, kill them all
