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
