Big Machine Lyrics

I don't know
Because she says so
He's a faggot boy
The TV says so
He's a junkie piece of shit
Because he says so

All that first-class jet set
Brings me down, down, down
All that first-class drug shit
Brings me down, down, down


It's a big machine, it's a big machine
We're all slaves to a big machine
It's a big machine, it's a big machine
We're all slaves to a big machine
All tied up to a big machine
I got houses, got cars
I got a wife, I got kids
Got money in the bank

Get away without borders
I'm a slave, New World Order
I guess I chose to be
I guess I chose to be
I guess I chose to be
I guess I chose to be

All that first-class jet set
Brings me down, down, down
All that first-class drug shit
Brings me down, down, down

It's a big machine, it's a big machine
We're all slaves to a big machine
It's a big machine, it's a big machine
We're all slaves to a big machine
All tied up to a big machine
I got houses, got cars
I got a wife, I got kids
Got money in the bank

Hope I teach my son
How to be a man
Now before he hits 35
Comic book lives don't really
Have any real life do they now?

Hope I teach my son
How to be a man
Now before he hits 35
Comic book lives don't really
Have any real life do they now?

-Solo-

I don't know
Because she says so
He's a faggot boy
The TV says so
He's a junkie piece of shit
Because he says so

All that first-class jet set
Brings me down, down, down
All that first-class drug shit
Brings me down, down, down

It's a big machine, it's a big machine
We're all slaves to a big machine
It's a big machine, it's a big machine
We're all slaves to a big machine
All tied up to a big machine
I got houses, got cars
I got a wife, I got kids
Got money in the bank

We're all slaves to a big machine
We're all slaves to a big machine
We're all slaves to a big machine
We're all slaves to a big machine

-Solo-

It's a big machine, it's a big machine
We're all slaves to a big machine
It's a big machine, it's a big machine
We're all slaves to a big machine
All tied up to a big machine
I got houses, got cars
I got a wife, I got kids
Got money in the bank

Velvet Revolver is a hard rock supergroup formed in 2002 and consisting of former Guns N' Roses members Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum, alongside Dave Kushner formerly of punk band Wasted Youth. Stone Temple Pilots singer Scott Weiland was Velvet Revolver's lead singer from their formation until 2008. In 2004, the band achieved commercial success with their debut album, Contraband. Critics initially described Velvet Revolver as a mere combination of Stone Temple Pilots and Guns N' Roses, and criticized the band for a "disconnection" between Scott Weiland and the rest of the band. With their single Slither, they won the 2005 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance.

The band released Libertad in 2007, driven by the release of the single She Builds Quick Machines, and embarked on a tour with Alice in Chains. In April 2008, Weiland parted ways with Velvet Revolver and has since reunited with Stone Temple Pilots. Velvet Revolver has been on indefinite hiatus since April and in November 2008, the band was released by their record label RCA Records at their request to allow them "complete freedom to go through whatever process it would take to accomplish" replacing Weiland.

The release of Slash's solo album, Slash, and Duff McKagan's addition to the Jane's Addiction lineup seemed to put future of the band in doubt. However, they still remain optimistic about the future, with new songs written and plans to reconvene in 2011.

Although Velvet Revolver worked on new material and auditioned new singers following Scott Weiland's departure, the band has not released any new material and only performed publicly once since 2008, when they reunited with Weiland for a one-off reunion show on January 12, 2012 at a benefit concert. This proved to be their last performance together before Weiland's death on December 3, 2015. Slash and McKagan have since rejoined Guns N' Roses.

On December 3, 2015, Weiland was found dead on his tour bus around 9 pm, one day before he was to perform in Minnesota with his band The Wildabouts. Both Slash and McKagan have since rejoined Guns N' Roses Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
