Misery Machine Lyrics

[Intro]
I would like to face reality, let me tell you there's over three-thousand groups operating in this country today and the number is growing. As Christians we gotta take on the armor of Christ and go to battle against Satan

[Verse 1]
Man in the front got a sinister grin
Careen down highway 666
We wanna go, crush the slow
As the pitchfork bends the needles grow

[Chorus]
My arms are wheels, my legs are wheels
My blood is pavement
We're gonna ride to the abbey of Thelema, to the abbey of Thelema
Blood is pavement
Yeah

[Verse 2]
Grill in the front is my sinister grin
Bugs in my teeth make me sick, sick, sick
The objects may be larger than
They appear in the mirror


[Chorus]
My arms are wheels, my legs are wheels
Blood is pavement
We're gonna ride to the abbey of Thelema, to the abbey of Thelema
Blood is pavement!
[Post-Chorus]
When you ride, you're ridden
When you ride, you're ridden

[Interlude]
Beep beep, beep beep
His horn went beep beep beep


[Bridge]
I am fueled by filth and fury
Do what I will, I will hurry there, there

[Chorus]
Yeah!
My arms are wheels, my legs are wheels
My blood is pavement
My arms are wheels, my legs are wheels
My blood is pavement, yeah
Fuck it
My arms are wheels, my legs are wheels
My blood is pavement
My arms are wheels, my legs are wheels
My blood is pavement, pavement, pavement!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
