[Verse 1] Welcome to Maximum Overdrive North Carolina in the summer heat The fuel pumps shiver Like they know my name I saw the gravel start to crawl And the trucks line up Like they smelled fresh blood [Pre-Chorus] Headlights turn their eyes Engines hum like a threat Nobody touched that switch But the whole place woke up to the beat of this Halloween song [Chorus] The machines moved by itself The machines moved by itself Run if you can the people said WE MADE YOU But the machine says Nah and shoot you to death [Verse 2] The drink machines move by itself the game machines move by itself The pickup trucks move by itself So did the machine guns When you plug a razor blade machine they will cut your arm off [Pre-Chorus] Hear that metal moan Coming up the road Every lock is gone And the power got a soul [Chorus] The machines moved by itself The machines moved by itself Run if you can the people said WE MADE YOU But the machine says Nah and shoot you to death [Bridge] I saw the chrome teeth shine I saw the chains come tight A whole town holding breath At the edge of the night You better not blink You better not stall When the world gets mean It takes us all [Chorus] The machines moved by itself The machines moved by itself Run if you can the people said WE MADE YOU But the machine says Nah and shoot you to death
