written by: Brian May/Roger Taylor album: The Works(1984) [Verse 1]
       G
It's a Machine's world

F                            A#
Don't tell me I ain't got no soul

           G
When the machines take over

F                     A#
It ain't no place for rock'n'roll.
[Prechorus]
     F
They tell me I don't care

                           C
But deep inside I'm just a man
[Chorus]
     G
They freeze me they burn me
They squeeze me they stress me
     Am
With smoke-blackened pistons of steel they compress me

    F                       C                   A#
But no-one, but no-one, but no-one can wrest me away

        G
Back to Humans.

C
We have no disease, no troubles of mind

   F                          C
No thank you, no please, no regard for the time

   F             G
We never cry, we never retreat

   D#                    G
We have no conception of love or defeat.
[Verse 2]
            G
What's that Machine noise

F                            A#
It's bytes and megachips for tea

            G
It's that Machine, boys

F                      A#
With Random Access Memory

F
Never worry, never mind

                       C 
Not for money, not for gold.
[Chorus]
G
It's software it's hardware
It's heartbeat is time-share
A
It's midwife's a disk drive
It's sex-life is quantised
     F                   C              F
It's self-perpetuating a parahumanoidarianised.

        G 
Back to Humans
Back to Humans.
                            F
Back to Machines, machines, machines, machines.
[Coda]

G

G
Living in a new world

G

   F
Machine world...

         G
It's a Machine's world...
