lyrics

WHEELS STOPPED TURNING – They said it would go on forever, too much momentum and speed. I think they were just being clever, or devious to hide their own greed. So the wheels stopped turning on the grand machine. But it kept us returning to the same old scene. It took awhile to start it back up if that’s what you want to believe. They said they had to prime the pump, but they are known to deceive. So the wheels stopped turning on the grand machine. And it started our yearning for a better routine. So we’re sitting here in silence. We’re waiting to get moving. ‘Cause you know we’re prone to violence. That’s our only solution. So the wheels stopped turning on the grand machine. And it stole all our earnings. Then we started to scream. So the wheels stopped turning on the grand machine. And it’s brakes started burning and the smell was obscene.
