Lyrics:

If I were alive

If I were real

Would you survive?

What would you feel now?

Heavy metal

Heavy metal machine

Heavy metal

Heavy metal machine

If I were dead

Would my records sell?

Could you ever tell?

Or is it just as well?

Heavy metal

Heavy metal machine

Heavy metal

Heavy metal machine

Would you want to die?

Would you want to see?

Brought down below

Brought down beneath

Will you write the songs?

Will you shake the hand?

Till you understand

It's not yours to keep

Heavy metal

Heavy metal machine

Heavy metal

Heavy metal machine

Heavy metal

Heavy metal machine

Heavy metal

Heavy metal machine

+EnvelopsTheBathtub Boo, then why are you listening to something you don't like?Machina is the pinnacle of Smashing Pumpkins experimenting, and sadly we might never hear anything like this again.

NATURE IS HEAVY METAL MACHINE THE HELL EXISTS JUST LIKE FEELINGS AND EYE-SIGHT (VISION) DO GOOD FEELINGS CAN BE ALTERED INTO BAD GOOD PHYSICAL VISION CAN BE ALTERED INTO A ONE THAT IS REAL BUT NOT CONNECTED WITH OUTSIDE WORLD (f.e. A MIND IN SCHIZOPHRENIA) OH YES, IT IS ALL: REAL

Nah as I love all the work of NIN and for the fact that The Smashing Pumpkins are my favoriete band...well I love SP's 90s stuff exclusively that I can't stand the Machinas or Zeitgeist...or anything else after Adore...though I loved Adore, Mellon Collie, Siamese Dream, and Gish. I do respect it because I understand how people won't always like new directions, but it just isn't my thing. Though NIN never disappointed me :) sorry SP...
