Lyrics[edit]
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-zoms
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
Wouldn't believe
The things they do
We are not lovers
We are not romantics
We are here to serve you
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
We are not lovers
We are not romantics
We are here to serve you
We are not lovers
We are not romantics
We are here to serve you
We are not lovers
We are not romantics
We are here to serve you
We are not lovers
We are not romantics
We are here to serve you
