    From http://funkdeli.com/blog/welcome-to-the-disco/machine-there-but-for-the-grace-of-god-go-i

    "This has to be one of the most misunderstood records of all time. Machine was spitting socially conscious material on top of a thumping disco beat. This record caused all kinds of controversy when it came out, but if you follow the lyrics and listen to what the band is saying, it’s more of a criticism of existing intolerance than anything else. While you listen to the song, take a look at the lyrics and judge for yourself.

    Carlos and Carmen Vidal just had a child
    A lovely girl with a crooked smile
    Now they gotta split ’cause the Bronx ain’t fit
    For a kid to grow up in
    Let’s find a place they say, somewhere far away
    With no blacks, no Jews and no gays

    Chorus:
    There but for the grace of God go I

    Poppy and the family left the dirty streets
    To find a quiet place overseas
    And year after year the kid has to hear
    The do’s the don’ts and the dears
    And when she’s ten years old she digs that rock ‘n’ roll
    But Poppy bans it from home

    Chorus

    Baby, she turns out to be a natural freak
    Popping pills and smoking weed
    And when she’s sweet sixteen she packs her things and leaves
    With a man she met on the street
    Carmen starts to bawl, bangs her head to the wall
    Too much love is worse than none at all"
