The new law is moving in
Now you see them now you don't
Like a shadow in my disguise
Like a soft machine on ice
Who are you?
'I'm the man I am the cure and disease'
Who am I?
I'm the need I an the weakness that feeds
I've got to rip it up
I've got to tear it down
I've got to break the word
I've got to fight for you
Who am I to criticise
I'm unsafe at any speed
'We can change the world' she said
Never changed it never tried
I'm cold and hard
But I don't mind
I've been everything I can be
I've been sick
And I've got the screams
These boys don't know when to push
I've got to rip it up
I've got to tear it down
I've got to break the word
I've got to fight for you
Did you know that I don't run
Did you know that I don't hide
Did you know that I don't sleep
Did you know that I don't care
I am the soft machine
I am the word and the law
I am the new machine
I am your feelings and more
Come inside
Play with me
I'll show you things to forget
No-one talks
And no-one leaves
No-one remembers the way
I've got to fight the man
I've got to fight the need
I've got to fight the law
I've got to fight the word
