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?
But I've never been quite the same
Little white lies like I was there

Come to Tom-Tom'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'
Till 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
