This is my effort for Pete Johns Songtember 2026 song-in-a-month challenge, and it sure was challenging !!!!more

Don’t you celebrate the devil I am Weaponize the feelings I’m feelin Somehow every word I say I offend Consumed by the reason I descend Lies just come too easy When you’re blinded by shame All the fear will leave me Yet the burden remains Forever wearing the stain But it’s rare for me to care Or even feel inspired I’m usually too drunk Or just too damn tired And if this life were a job I’d be fuckin fired Welcome To the murder machine Just lay back And enjoy the screams If you’re open to more suffering In a cage made of flesh and bone More pain than you’ve ever known Welcome To the murder machine Just lay back And enjoy the screams If you’re hoping for more slaughtering Pure hatred to set the tone More pain than you’ve ever known Welcome Du-du-du-du-du Welcome Du-du-du-du-du Welcome Du-du-du-du-du Ba-da-da-bum-bum-bum La-la-la-la-la Playing in a game we can’t win Cursed by an evil they defend Now they’re feeding us their poison again All outta fucks I can give when We could join together We could take a stand Live in peace forever In a thriving land I believe that we can But it’s rare for me to care Or even feel inspired I’m usually too drunk Or just too damn tired And if this life were a job I’d be fuckin fired Welcome To the murder machine Just lay back And enjoy the screams If you’re open to more suffering In a cage made of flesh and bone More pain than you’ve ever known Welcome To the murder machine Built by bankers With your broken dreams If you’re hoping for more corporate greed Pure hatred should set the tone Spouting freedom you’ve never know Welcome Du-du-du-du-du Welcome Du-du-du-du-du Welcome Du-du-du-du-du Ba-da-da-bum-bum-bum La-la-la-la-la But how can we solve our problems If our santy’s gone How can we lift our spirit If we’ve forgotten our song We’re so terrified of our shadow We chase after the dawn And I guess I’ve lost the will to press on There’s no hope that I will ever belong So long more
