President Joe once had a dream
The world held his hand, gave their pledge
So he told them his scheme for a Saviour Machine

They called it the Prayer, its answer was law
Its logic stopped war, gave them food
How they adored till it cried in its boredom

'Please don't believe in me, please disagree with me
Life is too easy, a plague seems quite feasible now
or maybe a war, or I may kill you all

Don't let me stay, don't let me stay
My logic says burn so send me away
Your minds are too green, I despise all I've seen
You can't stake your lives on a Saviour Machine

I need you flying, and I'll show that dying
Is living beyond reason, sacred dimension of time
I perceive every sign, I can steal every mind

Don't let me stay, don't let me stay
My logic says burn so send me away
Your minds are too green, I despise all I've seen
You can't stake your lives on a Saviour Machine

  • To Sanchan1959

    Yes, Bowie made a masterpiece with this album. Saviour machine - I speculate it could even have been loosely based on "the Forbin Project "- see the film. I found this music in the album could grab me and HOLD!

  • @MrLesfaves that film is on youtube ,,not sure ive seen it ,,gonna  look later ...looks interesting

  • "The Man Who Sold The World" is still an amazing album to this day!!! Damn....doesn't "Savior Machine" make you think that Bowie already predicted a "New World Order" to happen someday back then??? Scary thought...

  • yeah this album is way ahead of its time :)

  • Fantastic. I prefer the Vice Squad version though.

  • i've never heard that version ...if you have it upload it

  • Like posted below yours: The entire album IS a work of art! Pure genius! Bowie knew something. A Visionary perhaps? Mindblowing. Don't get me started on "She Shook Me Cold" !!! Yow!

  • the whole album is a work of art

  • 5* = great song, great audio quality, video very simple but that's why it's even more striking.

    can i ask you who's the author of the drawing? thanks in advance
