Original Poem by Paul Irvine @apolymask (Against the Machine was constructed off this poem by Paul Irvine)

"Where's your line?"
Original Poem

Where's your line?
When is too much, too much?
There comes a point in life.
When you've got to say enough is enough!
To all those inclined.
We need more to speak out, push back and fight.
Against the machine, it's up to us.
If a good future will survive.
Don't let them divide, and conquer and crush.
Shine your light on what.
They're deceptively trying to hide.
To the front, sometimes you gotta rush.
There still might be time.
To the front, sometimes you gotta rush.
There still might be time.

The dangers are massive as apathy amasses among the huddled masses.
It's sad, but..
First imagine what's the worst that could happen.
Yet.. We can't let that stop us from acting.
Let's gain traction.
Momentum and steam, keep advancing.
Make it lasting.
There's plenty to go around, see.
It keeps stacking.
Almost as if beyond belief.
Beware of the warnings.. Cause.. They are already attacking.
If you have the eyes to percieve.
Beware of the warnings.. Cause.. They are already attacking.
If you have the eyes to percieve.

If you didn't have enough self respect..
How would you know if another overstepped?
Don't let yourself get too wrecked to protect.
Each important aspect.
Instead of accepting slavery, resist till the last breath.
Don't expect honor from thieves.. And those who glamorize terror.
Clammoring to the extents left by those with less left.
Reaching from the depths of despair.
One of the most powerful things you can say is.. NO.
No, no, no no!
We won't put up with your fake bullshit propaganda puppet show.
We'll be tearing these illusions down, corruption has got to go.
We're ready for some new things..
And you should already know.
We're ready for some new things.
And.. You should already know.

Lyrics
Against the Machine
Shavon Bonnie Legion

Where's your line?

when is to much, to much?

there comes a point in your life,

when you gotta say, enough is enough,

Chorus

all those inclined,

you gotta speak out, push back and fight,

against the machine,

we can survive,

we wont let them conquer crush and divide,

oh and there trying to hide,

cause we still got time,

against the machine,

you gotta have self respect,

you gotta know when someone else has overstepped,

dont let yourself get all totally wrecked,

instead of accepting slavery,

resist to your very last breath.

Chorus

the dangers are massive, as apathy amasses,

amoung huddled masses, its sad but imagine,

the worst that could happen,

they cant stop us acting, gaining some traction,

momentum and steam, we keep on advancing,

plenty to go around, see it keep on stacking,

beware of the warnings cause they are attacking

can you perceive, with eyes you percieve,

Chorus

Dont expect honor from thieves,

those who glamorize terror, but them on there knees,

you got the power, you can just say no,

you wont stand for this fake bullshit, propaganda show!
