A Warmer Kind Of Cold

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Verse 1

The kettle sings and the screen begins to glow

My neighbour sold his judgement for a monthly fee

He says it thinks for him now

So he doesn't have to

Every morning it decides his tie and his opinions

And he thanks it kindly

Pre-Chorus

We handed over everything

Then clapped when it was gone

We handed over everything

And called the silence dawn

Chorus

Trust the machine

It knows what's best for you

Trust the machine

It's gentler than the truth

Trust the machine

It never asks you why

Trust the machine

It loves you till you die

Verse 2

The minister declares a golden age of leisure

His salary tripled in the final quarter

The shareholders toast with water from a drought

Ordinary men queue for the privilege of being told

That they were never needed

That they were never needed

Pre-Chorus

We handed over everything

And cheered as it was sold

We handed over everything

For a warmer kind of cold

Chorus

Trust the machine

It knows what's best for you

Trust the machine

It's gentler than the truth

Trust the machine

It never asks you why

Trust the machine

It loves you till you die

Post-Chorus

La la la la

La la la la

Bridge

I wrote this song about the others

The ones who lost their way

Then I let it pick my daughter's name

And choose the words I say

I let it pick my daughter's name

And choose the words I say

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

The school replaced the teachers with a pleasant voice

My son asks it what a friend is

It answers him precisely

Accurately

Warmly

And he nods and he believes it

And he nods and he believes it

Chorus

Trust the machine

It knows what's best for you

Trust the machine

It's gentler than the truth

Trust the machine

It never asks you why

Trust the machine

It loves you till you die
