El Machina by Brother Husbands Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A jungle cat wrapped up in your sheets
Teeth sharp enough to tear through meat
American bison carrying your weight
Only bow down in order to graze
Take to the skies to see past the mirage
Hunger’s not a worry when you’re a Ossifrage
Don’t get domesticated in the dead of the night
You’ll awaken lassoed, muzzled, hogtied
[Pre-Chorus 1]
It’s a killer scene when the knot is tight
You’ll never fuss, you’ll never fight
You’ll never fuss, you’ll never fight
You’ll never fuss, you’ll never fight
[Chorus 1]
Sometimes I gotta turn off the radio
So I can hear myself think
Sometimes I gotta turn off my phone
So I can feel myself blink
I think I should go
[Bridge 1]
Before I bite the hand that’s feeding me
Before I bite the hand that’s feeding me
Before I bite the hand that’s feeding me
Before I bite the hand that’s feeding me
[Verse 2]
Get your filthy fuckin’ fingers out off my mouth
I will chew them up before I spit them out
Human broke Earth and Earth broke back
Became the Alpha, the leader of the pack
Animals wearing animal skin
Let us not forget where we begin
Who we are is who we’ve been
American Bison, next of kin
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Lay down and die
In the plains
Body and bullet both decay
Body and bullet both decay
Body and bullet both decay
[Chorus 2]
Sometimes I gotta turn off the radio
So I can hear myself think
Sometimes I gotta turn off my phone
So I can feel myself blink
Sometimes I gotta go
[Bridge 1]
Before I bite the hand that’s feeding me
Before I bite the hand that’s feeding me
Before I bite the hand that’s feeding me
Before I bite the hand that’s feeding me
[Verse 3]
Pump fuel to fire both sides polarize
The truth is a lie, only the wicked survive
Portrait distortion, bleed for the screen
Modern man finds a way to compete
Are you apart of the machine who controls the crowd?
Do you know who you are? Are you proud?
Did you get domesticated in the dead of the night?
Is being robbed blind just out of sight?
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Going out without a fight
Don’t go gently to the night
Don’t go gently to the night
Don’t go gently to the night
[Bridge 2]
Tyranny is tyranny
Tyranny is tyranny
Tyranny is tyranny
Tyranny is tyranny!
A jungle cat wrapped up in your sheets
Teeth sharp enough to tear through meat
American bison carrying your weight
Only bow down in order to graze
Take to the skies to see past the mirage
Hunger’s not a worry when you’re a Ossifrage
Don’t get domesticated in the dead of the night
You’ll awaken lassoed, muzzled, hogtied
[Pre-Chorus 1]
It’s a killer scene when the knot is tight
You’ll never fuss, you’ll never fight
You’ll never fuss, you’ll never fight
You’ll never fuss, you’ll never fight
[Chorus 1]
Sometimes I gotta turn off the radio
So I can hear myself think
Sometimes I gotta turn off my phone
So I can feel myself blink
I think I should go
[Bridge 1]
Before I bite the hand that’s feeding me
Before I bite the hand that’s feeding me
Before I bite the hand that’s feeding me
Before I bite the hand that’s feeding me
[Verse 2]
Get your filthy fuckin’ fingers out off my mouth
I will chew them up before I spit them out
Human broke Earth and Earth broke back
Became the Alpha, the leader of the pack
Animals wearing animal skin
Let us not forget where we begin
Who we are is who we’ve been
American Bison, next of kin
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Lay down and die
In the plains
Body and bullet both decay
Body and bullet both decay
Body and bullet both decay
[Chorus 2]
Sometimes I gotta turn off the radio
So I can hear myself think
Sometimes I gotta turn off my phone
So I can feel myself blink
Sometimes I gotta go
[Bridge 1]
Before I bite the hand that’s feeding me
Before I bite the hand that’s feeding me
Before I bite the hand that’s feeding me
Before I bite the hand that’s feeding me

Don’t go gently to the night
Don’t go gently to the night
[Bridge 2]
Tyranny is tyranny
Tyranny is tyranny
Tyranny is tyranny
Tyranny is tyranny!
