All the leaves are falling
where the hedgehogs hiding
and a bee buzzes by
Makes me feel like crying
hear the song of warning
from the blackbird calling
the hills are alight
Feels like the first day of your life.
There's a hawk in the distance
He ain't praying for forgiveness
It's his nature to kill but mine isn't
But we all kill in ways that he doesn't
As we pay our taxes to the war machine
The War Machine.
Oh no. Won't always be the war machine.

Bill Fay dopo aver pubblicato negli anni '70 due dischi acclamati dalla critica ma di scarso successo commerciale, è tornato dopo più di 40 anni a incidere dischi, prima con Life is People del 2012 poi con questo Who is the Sender?.
Più ancora che il precedente, il nuovo album esprime frustrazione e costernazione per lo stato in cui è ridotto il mondo, guerre e persecuzione.
Questa War Machine è un'amara descrizione della natura umana pronta ad uccidere finanziando senza fare domande una micidiale macchina da guerra.
