The Machine

[00:27.90] All that he does is chip away
[00:30.27] Each day he sticks to his routine
[00:34.31] Putting the pieces on
[00:35.80] Building a big machine
[00:39.06] He ran out of room inside his room
[00:41.98] And so he moved it all outside
[00:45.77] Now it's a bit too big!
[00:47.23] Now it's a mile wide!
[00:50.13] The family vans across the desert
[00:53.48] Follow signs to park and stare
[00:57.26] Nobody says hello
[00:58.74] Nobody knows he's there
[01:02.07] They just look at the blinking lights and greebles
[01:04.82] Interlocking arms of steel
[01:07.77] And they think
[01:08.68] Nothing could be so big!
[01:10.36] Nothing could be so real!
[01:12.45] They think
[01:13.34] One million springs
[01:16.24] And spinning things
[01:18.00] It's quite a view
[01:20.98] We have no clue
[01:24.04] What does it do?
[01:27.59] That's the beauty of it
[01:30.53] It doesn't do anything!
[01:36.90]
[01:48.48] He made his own night-vision goggles
[01:51.31] Now he lurks inside the frame
[01:54.87] Perfecting it from within
[01:56.65] Forgetting his own name
[02:00.17] All that he knows is that it needs him
[02:02.72] All it knows is he needs it
[02:06.45] Every piston
[02:07.64] Every single little bit
[02:11.13] The government people in black helicopters
[02:14.95] Try to snoop around
[02:16.60] I'm so sorry, but he needs the extra parts
[02:19.50] He takes the choppers down
[02:23.01] Now there are tanks on the horizon
[02:25.63] Asking "what are his demands?"
[02:29.13] Not one of them understands
[02:30.89] Nobody understands
[02:32.69] All the megaphones scream
[02:34.08] One million gears
[02:37.05] Perhaps our fears are coming true
[02:41.61] What does it do?
[02:43.93] What does it do?
[02:48.04] That's the beauty of it
[02:50.86] It doesn't do anything!
[02:58.29] Lost in solipsism
[03:00.28] He then slowly pulls a lever
[03:03.10] Which sets off a mechanism
[03:06.19] Which does nothing whatsoever
[03:08.96] But the nothing that it does
[03:11.54] Negates the everything we know
[03:14.19] Because it's screaming "Just because!"
[03:17.19] Because it's neither friend or foe
[03:20.03] And so we label it a menace
[03:23.21] Or a grandiose work of art
[03:25.87] From its finale to its genesis
[03:29.40] We slowly pull it all apart
[03:34.08] That's the beauty of it
[03:36.10] It doesn't do anything, do anything!
[03:46.89]
[03:50.04] Doesn't do anything, doesn't do anything!
[03:57.30]
