Lyrics
Down in the park Where the Machmen meet The machines are playing `kill-by-numbers' Down in the park with a friend called `Five' I was in a car crash Or was it the war? Well, I've never been quite the same Little white lies like "I was there" Come to "Zom-Zom's", a place to eat Like it was built in one day You can watch the humans Try to run Oh, look, there's a rape machine I'd go outside if it looks the other way You wouldn't believe The things they do Down in the park Where the chant is "Death, death, death" Until the sun cries morning Down in the park with friends of mine "We are not lovers We are not romantics We are here to serve you" A different face but the words never change
