Times have changed my friend
But they're still beautiful
Recall the place where I was born
Childhood, fields of green
It's me the mad machine
I've come to play
an' run away

When you wake up in the mornin'
Wake up to the melody
You can hear them call your name
your best friend is technology

Round an' round, you're never lazy
Round you turn in lullabies
29 you're goin' crazy
Machine gun

35 he joined the Navy
Good ole Navy's harmony
Then he got a broken heart
On 20th anniversary

Send your love to operators
Send your love into the rain
Every day your solitude
May hit you like a hurricane

So welcome
Machine gun

Martha planned to make a movie
Movie made in stereo
Then she went to California
Winded up on radio

Round about the Navy-ballroom
Get the man in gabardine
Kiss him once an' kiss them all
an' send me cards on Halloween

So welcome
Machine gun

Voice of silence come
The world's so wonderful
We cry, make love
an' the wind goes on

Monday up to Saturday
You kick your soul from 9 to 5
Sunday's always wonderful
You wander on the TV-line

Love is not a silly notion
Love is not a monorail
Love is like the one you love
A candle in the hurricane

So welcome
Machine gun
