Saviour Machine Lyrics - David Bowie

1 President Joe once had a dream

2 The world held his hand, gave their pledge

3 So he told them his scheme for a Saviour Machine

4 They called it the Prayer, its answer was law

5 Its logic stopped war, gave them food

6 How they adored till it cried in its boredom

7 Please don't believe in me, please disagree with me

8 Life is too easy, a plague seems quite feasible now

9 Or maybe a war, or I may kill you all

10 Don't let me stay, don't let me stay

11 My logic says burn so send me away

12 Your minds are too green, I despise all I've seen

13 You can't stake your lives on a Saviour Machine

14 I need you flying, and I'll show that dying

15 Is living beyond reason, sacred dimension of time

16 I perceive every sign, I can steal every mind

17 Don't let me stay, don't let me stay

18 My logic says burn so send me away

19 Your minds are too green, I despise all I've seen

20 You can't stake your lives on a Saviour Machine
