Everybody's jumping on the circus train.
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 coverd wagons and they roll out west.
Politics in the pockets of their Sunday best.
Shaking hands, kissing babies, for all that they're worth.
Oh, they promise you gold, promise heaven on earth.
Still, that old bald eagle circles
it's not the first time that he's seen
his reflection in the eyes of innocence.
He's become just another
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 aren't running they're home and dry.
Up in the mountains where the eagle flies.
They wouldn't take that job
offered on a plate.
They got to fly with the eagle, and he won't wait.
Looking 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.
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
let's be part of the machine.
Part of the machine.

Jethro Tull è un gruppo musicale britannico formatosi nel 1967. Fondato dal multi-strumentista Ian Anderson, noto per il suo uso distintivo del flauto tra i generi rock, la band ha raggiunto fama internazionale negli anni '70 con un sound che fonde elementi di blues, folk e progressive rock. Il loro stile musicale è caratterizzato da arrangiamenti complessi, testi poetici e l'uso innovativo del flauto come strumento principale. Tra le canzoni più famose ci sono "Aqualung", "Thick as a Brick" e "Locomotive Breath". L'album "Thick as a Brick", un concept album di finzione pubblicato nel 1972, è considerato uno dei capolavori del progressive rock. Jethro Tull ha vinto un Grammy Award per il miglior album rock strumentale nel 1970 con l'album "Stand Up". La band continua ad esibirsi e registrare musica fino ai giorni nostri.
