THE NEW LAW IS MOVING IN
NOW YOU SEE THEM, NOW YOU DON'T
LIKE A SHADOW IN MY DISGUISE
LIKE A SOFT MACHINE ON ICE

WHO ARE YOU?
'I'M THE MAN
I AM THE CURE AND DISEASE'
WHO AM I?
I'M THE NEED I AM THE WEAKNESS THAT FEEDS

I'VE GOT TO RIP IT UP
I'VE GOT TO TEAR IT DOWN
I'VE GOT TO BREAK THE WORD
I'VE GOT TO FIGHT FOR YOU

WHO AM I TO CRITISISE
I'M UNSAFE AT ANY SPEED
'WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD' SHE SAID
NEVER CHANGED IT, NEVER TRIED
I'M COLD AND HARD
BUT I DON'T MIND
I'VE BEEN EVERYTHING I CAN BE
I'VE BEEN SICK
AND I'VE GOT THE SCREAMS

THESE BOYS DON'T KNOW WHEN TO PUSH
DID YOU KNOW THAT I DON'T RUN
DID YOU KNOW THAT I DON'T HIDE
DID YOU KNOW THAT I DON'T SLEEP
DID YOU KNOW THAT I DON'T CARE

I AM THE SOFT MACHINE
I AM THE WORD
I AM THE LAW
I AM THE NEW MACHINE
I AM YOUR FEELINGS AND MORE

COME INSIDE
PLAY WITH ME
I'LL SHOW YOU THINGS TO FORGET

NO-ONE TALKS
AND NO-ONE LEAVES
NO-ONE REMEMBERS THE WAY

I'VE GOT TO FIGHT THE MAN
I'VE GOT TO FIGHT THE NEED
I'VE GOT TO FIGHT THE LAW
I'VE GOT TO FIGHT THE WORD
