The new law is moving in

Now you see them now you don't

Like a Shadow in my diguise

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 am 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 he screams

These boys don't know when to push



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 and 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
