Nickelback - Feed The Machine Lyrics






Addressing those beneath from high above.
Convincing his belief for what you love.
Baiting every hook with filthy lies.
Another charlatan to idolize.

Is this suppression just in my mind?
(Just in my mind?)
No more questions, get back in line!
(Just get back in line!)

Pay with your life, the duller the knife, the longer it takes.
(The longer it takes)
But now it's your turn, the ashes will burn, and wither away.
Leaving your bones, out on the stones, picking them clean.
(Picking them clean)
Carving the truth, while harvesting you, to feed the machine.
(To feed the machine)

The gears forever turn to grind the mice.
Will you become the fuel for sacrifice?
Power absolutely all for show.
The piper blows his flute and off you go.
(And off you go)

Is this obsession behind your eyes?
(Behind you eyes?)
No more questions, get back in line!
(Just get back in line!)

Pay with your life, the duller the knife, the longer it takes.
(The longer it takes)
But now it's your turn, the ashes will burn, and wither away.
Leaving your bones, out on the stones, picking them clean.
(Picking them clean)
Carving the truth, while harvesting you, to feed the machine.
(To feed the machine)

Why must the blind always lead the blind?
(Get back in line, get back in line)
Why do I feel like the fault is mine?
(Get back in line, get back in line)
Why must the weakest be sacrificed?
(Get back in line, get back in line)
No more questions, get back in line!
(Just get back in line!)

Pay with your life, the duller the knife, the longer it takes.
(The longer it takes)
But now it's your turn, the ashes will burn, and wither away.
(Wither away)
Leaving your bones, out on the stones, picking them clean.
(Picking them clean)
Carving the truth, while harvesting you, to feed the machine.
(To feed the machine)
To feed the machine.

  1. F.... 1....

    Most epic music video award?

  2. r.... ....

    This video reminds me of the Combine aesthetic from Halflife 2...

  3. A.... S....

    Why did Nickelback make this pop shit, of course they made a lot of money with it, but this is a lot nicer

  4. P.... O....

    i am not a fan of nickelback (who is?) but this one is heavy and catchy, i like it :-) maybe their best song/video, unfortunately not very successfull

  5. e.... j....

    Como pasa el tiempo este disco parece que acaba de salir. Neta fue muy bueno espero sigan dando buenos toques.

  6. P.... M....

    This tower looks same as Argent-Tower from "Doom" (2016).
    That’s awesome

  7. A.... S....

    Been with them since Silver Side Up and this is easily their best album.

  8. �.... �....

    I like this song as much as I didn’t like “photograph-alike” stuff. Your nowadays style is actually really good!

  9. A.... _....

    Theyre better as a metal band than rock band

  10. C.... B....

    What is this band? Never heard of them before *cough* I came here looking for "Feed the Machine" a song by RED.

  11. M.... M....

    These guys were fucking amazing in concert

  12. R.... T....

    Hi guys. Love you. Miss you . Still grieving about Neil. Need your help. The US government is selling out to crooks. There won’t be anything left for our children or grandchildren. I really need my music family and friends. Here and Now

  13. G.... G....

    NickleBack evolve more with each albulm. 😈

  14. G.... f....

    Townsend was right about this one.

  15. T.... M....

    It might be the trend to hate nickelback, but count me out. One of the best bands ever.

  16. J.... W....

    2020 and still loving it!!! Can't wait for Nickelback to release another album. Been my absolute favorite band going on 19 years nows. ❤❤

  17. S.... M....

    Never used to like nickleback. Was too soft for me with songs like how you remind me and saving me being the "normal" sound you hear from them. Normally i need something harder for when i jam out on guitar. But this album isnt that bad tbh. I am genuinely impressed by the evolved sound coming from these guys now.

  18. A.... W....

    Sounds like Curb / The State era stuff. Nickleback is in a shitty catch 22. If they make music like this they get cred from the rock community, but get no money. When they make that poppy garbage like Home they get tons of money because they appeal to the main stream. Look at Gwen Stefani, she had a little success with No Doubt but then when she started pumping out that pop garbage she earned millions and topped the charts. Nickleback sucks because people like shitty poppy music. I don't blame Nickleback for wanting to make money.

  19. S.... H....

    When nickelback comes back to Australia imma go to watch them probably won’t happen but it will be worth watching

  20. p.... g....

    love this song

  21. c.... l....

    The funny thing is everybody hates nickleback but there concerts are sold out

  22. g.... ....

    They've stopped making generic rock with shallow lyrics and are now making generic metalcore with pseudo-woke lyrics. Good on them.

  23. G.... G....

    who's listening in 2020 still

  24. B.... C....

    Holy shit these guys rock

  25. G.... _....

    hi Nickelback .

    I am one of your biggest fans . A couple of years ago I went to your feed the machine concert with my dad and step mum who also love Nickelback . your feed the machine concert was my first ever concert and I will cherish that moment forever . so thank you for making my wishes come true to see you at a live concert . and if you do go to Birmingham to have a concert I will definitely be there

  26. N.... K....

    It's more like "FEED THE BEAST 666" nickle back is calling out about the NWO...I'm just sayin...

  27. H.... ....

    Ooooohhhh this. This is great. I hope they keep following this path because this is amazing.

  28. M.... J....

    It's not that they don't make bad music, it's the opposite actually,the thing is that most their songs sound the same, but this song is an exception

  29. B.... ....

    I’m loving this. Has a completely different style and sound then their older stuff

  30. T.... I....

    I didnt even know nickleback still did music tbh. Glad i got cought up though. Love this new stuff

  31. j.... r....

    im getting wwe vives in the whole album

  32. L.... &....

    They need to do more songs like this one!

  33. A.... ....

    Absolute banger of a tune!

  34. S.... S....

    What a kick ass video, song, and message! Go Nickelback go!

  35. N.... B....

    1:20 gives me CHILLS

    N.... B....

    I like the last one that builds up all the tension at 4:02

  36. s.... ....

    This was a nice birthday present😊

  37. V.... B....

    This song has a more Starset feel to it

  38. B.... P....

    What does this song mean? Feed The Machine someone please tell me what it means thank you

  39. S.... R....

    4:10 My dude has a nerf gun.

  40. T.... P....

    It's Bane on a budget.

  41. W.... W....

    This is a heckin banger

  42. M.... M....

    Anyone else ready for a new album

  43. F.... S....

    "1080p" 33.72MB LOL, YOUTUBE QUALITY FAIL!!!

  44. H.... M....

    S.e.x
    Feed the machine
    This morning
    Never again
    Too late
    This means war
    Burn it to the ground
    Coin for the ferryman
    Plenty of jams guys

    H.... M....

    Betrayal 1/3 are both killer, parkway like almost with the intro

  45. M.... l....

    fantastic rockin powerful track great track

  46. 2.... u....

    Why I don't listen to nickelback every day?

  47. J.... P....

    That’s right!!!! If we all stand up the government can’t control us anymore. “RAID THE WHITE HOUSE”

  48. A.... A....

    This video right here is where we are heading if we are going to depend of A.I. : phones, robots, etc..

  49. S.... S....

    This is prob best stuff Nickelback has released and yet everybody seems to be sleeping on it.

  50. N.... ....

    These guys are heavier than Asking Alexandria in 2019? Well at least this song. I had no clue nickelback had a song like this. Sounds good.

  51. R.... T....

    The very first song that got me hooked up with nickel was 2012 and i was living on white pass in washington state and we were lucky to pick up any music station which luckily was a rock station and the first song i heard was nickle back rock star. Ive been hooked on nickel back

  52. C.... D....

    My God this was good !

  53. Z.... B....

    Who still listening 2019

  54. N.... M....

    If you put the song at playback speed 0.75x it sounds nice as well. A bit slower but nice.

  55. �.... ....

    Ыа-ыэ-ыа-ыэа-ыаэ

  56. K.... F....

    Still better than any american "modern drug rap" song

  57. M.... L....

    I came from Rock in Rio 2019

  58. L.... T....

    I'd like to see Chad Kroeger collaborate with Ian Thornley someday. I think that would be interesting.

    L.... T....

    Last song on the Silverside Up album from Nickelback. Ian Thornley plays the slide guitar

  59. �.... �....

    �.... �....

  60. B.... S....

  61. �.... �....

    January 2020?

  62. p.... g....

    First time hearing this song, but holy FUCK the bass tone!!!

  63. D.... D....

    See I love heavy angry metal but this is somehow still really good to me

  64. L.... ....

    i never thought id see a day where nickleback is heavier than linkin park and bfmv. congrats world you got me

  65. S.... ....

    So this video is about Sub Zero and Lin Kuei's revolution against machines and Cyborgs?lol

  66. J.... C....

    I never understood the hate this band receives. They are great musicians!

  67. L.... ....

    This is when a band decides to alter course for good... They have been reinvented 🤘

  68. J.... W....

    When Nickelback is metal - THEY KICK ASS.

  69. L.... F....

    Now that's a rock n' roll band!!!!! Great Job!!!!

  70. C.... J....

    God bless spread his word!

  71. D.... ....

    i'm back and forth with this band honestly this might be there best song gonna listen to the album it's on

  72. p.... ....

    This song is so rage against the machine but the video is so imagine dragons

  73. k.... ....

    Sounds like Breaking Benjamin. I love it.

  74. C.... I....

    Oh yeah boys love this style you possess! Heavy sounding shit is what we need.


    P.S.
    FUCK RAP!

  75. j.... M....

    Love this song. Much love for this band.
    3:20. Epic. Guitar.
    Added to my 20.This.Week Playlist! Check me out!

  76. T.... ....

    Fucking amazing song. Thank you for making this so haters like me can shut the fuck up finally hahah. Major credit where credit is due.

  77. m.... n....

    Sounds a few like Breaking Benjamin

  78. P.... a....

    good song

  79. t.... e....

    Kinda forgot about this album. Till recently

  80. T.... c....

    Wooow this is really good

  81. A.... S....

    For a band who is always on everybody's"most hated bands list", they sure do seem to pump out a lot of great music, mainstream hits, and epic videos. And, oh, yeah, they even sell a few records along the way.

    A.... S....

    yeah, that love-hate relationship, people seem to have with nickelback is quite amusing, to be honest

    A.... S....

    People hate them because they are mainstream. Just like people hate five finger death punch for moving toward a mainstream sound, instead of what they used to be. This and maybe 3 or 4 others are the only ones by nb that I like, but I generally dislike this band

    A.... S....

    @Salem Not a fan of Nickelback but I heard this song was good. FFDP is so bad now though.

    A.... S....

    @Paul Westfall ffdp used to be amazing, but they went downhill after their first 3 or 4 albums

  82. P.... &....

    This would be great theme for SmackDown on Fox or Buddy Murphy.

  83. S.... ....

    Sounds a lot like a metalized version of amility affliction.

  84. F.... P....

    It's been so long since the last time I've heard Nickelback,they are still rocking!!

  85. J.... S....

    Nova Ordem Mundial https://g.co/kgs/9tUuhu

  86. P.... C....

    Louisville KY the HER VOICE WILL RISE BY 5000 LION of LAMB she walks among the Homelessness eating out of garbage plague, OPPRESSOR TAX COLLECTORS WILL FALL IN MY REIGN OF GOD LANDS, BEAR WITNESS YOU MAY ATTEST TO THE ANOINTED 82174

    P.... C....

    Paula C. Louisville Kentucky in the building

  87. M.... ....

    This song tells me that no band is without redemption.

  88. S.... P....

  89. S.... P....

  90. B.... ....
