When was the last time a television set
Drive straight on through the night
Give it a little gas

Gave you shit about who you met last night?
You don't feed it right
No back-talk machine

As long as my lettuce is crisp
It'll move faster than you can
Give it a little grease
If your motor doesn't turn over smooth for you
Then give it a feel
Be friendly to your steel
Poison oak is a natural plant
Put a little starch in the old Corvette
Then get behind the wheel
He's just an American boy
Ah, you fool
You say nothing's right but natural things
Smooth moving steel, give it a feel

Smooth moving steel
Man-made mechanical mover
Why don't you put some in your food?
Man-made mechanical mover

Preservatives might just be preserving you
I don't care if there's chemicals in it
Keep your engine warm and wet
Ya you missed it
Love your machine
Man-made mechanical mover
No back-talk from a machine
I think that's something you missed
Vegetable lover
Natural food
Feed it right, your mechanical pet
I love his machine
And I love his machine
