== 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? 
     Well, I've never been quite the same
     Little white lies like 'I was there'
     
     Come to zom-zoms
     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
     Wouldn't believe
     The things they do
     
     We are not lovers
     We are not romantics
     We are here to serve you
     
     Down in the park
     Where the chant is death, death, death
     Until 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
     
     We are not lovers
     We are not romantics
     We are here to serve you
     
     We are not lovers
     We are not romantics
     We are here to serve you
     
     We are not lovers
     We are not romantics
     We are here to serve you
     
     We are not lovers
     We are not romantics
     We are here to serve you
