God from the Machine Lyrics

You can make it alone if you try

Til' the beat come home

I know you'll sing it

You can make it alone if you try

They never see your fire

Til' you make it out

Well are you with them, if not let it go

You're either going to rock the boat,

Or have what they're handing out

Now you're somewhere remote

They think you got a wire broke

But what you hashing up?

Something that you wrote

Is going to make a good lifeboat

Asylum for the torn


A rumbling below

Said if not now you'll never go

So while we wait it out

(2x)You can make it alone if you try

Til' the beat come home

I know you'll sing it

You can make it alone if you try

They never see your fire

Til' you make it out

It's what you know

But you can't tell a soul

Just where it is you let it go

For fear they'll turn it sour

You can see through the smoke

And though you know

That something's broke

You're holding on for now


Aiming for the mark

How is it that your scars light up

Like flashlights in the dark

Leading with the heart

You know your battle from the start

Don't let it wear you down

(2x)You can make it alone if you try

Til' the beat come home

I know you'll sing it

You can make it alone if you try

They never see your fire

Til' you make it out

For now you leave them alone

Ah, they'll see on their own

Ya ya yo

Out on your own, out on your own

Ya ya yo

And you're going

Now you now you'll go

(4x)You can make it alone if you try

Til' the beat come home

I know you'll sing it

You can make it alone if you try

They never see your fire

Til' you make it out

Santigold (born Santi White on September 25, 1976) is a musician, songwriter and producer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA who formerly went under the stage name Santogold. She is perhaps best known for the song L.E.S. Artistes which became a hit in the UK and on American alternative radio.

In February 2009, she officially changed her stage name to Santigold as a result of infomercial jeweller Santo Gold threatening legal action against White and her label Downtown Records.

White was lead singer of the Philadelphia-based punk rock band Stiffed, but while in the band, she was offered a solo contract. Working with fellow Stiffed member John Hill as co-producer, she recorded her debut album, Santogold, which was released in April 2008. Upon the change of her stage name, her label Downtown Records issued this press release:

"Change the graffiti on the bathroom wall, get your tattoo fixed, get your T-shirt airbrushed and change the name on your year-end list: Santogold is now Santigold. She's not telling you why, that's just how it is." Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
