Everybodys jumpin on the circus train Well, some jump high, some jump off again And the razzmatazz is rolling, women folk unveiled All truths to light, all crosses nailed Aiming high where the eagle circles Where he keeps his tail feathers clean And wonders, am I still a free bird Or just a part of the machine They hitch their covered wagons and they roll out west Politics in the pockets of their Sunday best Shakin hands, kissin babies for all that theyre worth Oh, they promise you gold, promise heaven on earth Still, that old bald eagle circle Its not the first time that hes seen His reflection in the eyes of innocence Hes become just another part of the machine Part of the machine I wish I had an eagle like you to look up to He could be my wings to fly in a big bird sky Up above the whole machine Smart guys arent runnin, theyre home and dry Up in the mountains where the eagle flies They wouldnt take that job offered on a plate They got to fly with the eagle and he wont wait Lookin down on the smoke and the factories Till the truth creeps up unseen They see themselves in the faces of their children And realize they too are part of the machine Part of the machine I wish I had an eagle like you to wake up to He could be my wings to fly in a big bird sky Hey, lets be part of the machine, part of the machine Part of the machine, part of the machine I wanna be part of your machine I wanna be part of your machine Part of your machine, part of your machine Songwriters IAN ANDERSON Read more: Jethro Tull - Part Of The Machine Lyrics | MetroLyrics
