Tricked the Machine

I respect you enough

To tell you the truth

I could spin some false complements

Would you think that's more couth?

I could, I could, write us a song

And only tell the good sides

Would you say that I’ve made amends?

That you prefer all the lies

I’m spinning the handle and I've

Tricked the machine

This is only hiding the pain

Still got no vaccine

I can try to soften my words

To lessen the blow

I could spin some false complements

But there ‘s something you should know

I could tell all your friends

Were doing fine

I could give them false confidence

we're not in decline

I’m spinning the handle and I've

Tricked the machine

This is only hiding the pain

Still got no vaccine

I’m spinning the handle and I've

Tricked the machine

This is only hiding the pain

Still got no vaccine

I respect you enough

To tell you the truth

I could spin some false complements

Would you think that's more couth?

I could, I could, write us a song

And only tell the good sides

Would you say that I’ve made amends?

That you prefer all the lies

I’m spinning the handle and I've

Tricked the machine

This is only hiding the pain

Still got no vaccine

I’m spinning the handle and I've

Tricked the machine

This is only hiding the pain

Still got no vaccine
