Cog in the Machine Lyrics

Setting up alarms empty bed I'm getting dressed

Near the end another month and all these bills have got me pressed

I don't know if we can make it I might put them on my credit

Imma have to pay em off a different time not on my debit

Where'd the money go that's the biggest mystery

They need another stimulus they've got a couple kids to feed

From the way that things are looking we might take a second mortgage out

They've been advocating for the things they're uninformed about

What's a ballot making no change I swear the system's callous

Throwing up arms in each three branches claim it's for the check and balance

It don't matter which wing that you're part of they're on the same bird

Onto the steps of the capitol making a scene and making our names heard

I need a doctor writing a slip I need my antidepressants

Gone in a second right when that virus hit yeah that was all so unexpected

Blink of an eye when a quarter million fell off the face of the fucking earth

Down with the government we've had our sufferance they don't know what it's like to work

Those who have lost raise your fists say "aye"

Those who were wronged but resist stand high

No rules for the suits legislation that they wrote

Cause you're a number in the game and you're another empty vote

Okay with this machine

And corporate disease

The slaves to wages bound

They make the world go round

Alright with this red tape

And public dead weight

The ones you cannot trust

They don't look out for us

Each light inside a building represents a living person

Clocking in and clocking out I said goodbye won't be returning

Stumble up a flight of stairs I made it to the rooftop

I won't plummet to the ground if you could promise you'd stop

How is it accepted that we work a 9 to 5

When that and sleeping are 2/3rds of all the time that we're alive

How are we complicit with the things we find explicit

But we wouldn't move a finger change a system that's illicit

We don't need clean water fuck the air it stays polluted

Crooked attorneys they recruited now the facts are so disputed

2 + 2 to make a 5 this been the world they want to live in

Cruel administrative treason strips the rights that we were given

No way to strike won't send the message when the militia comes

Stocking these guns the flag's in flames inhaling the gas up in our lungs

Send in the SWAT we ain't forgot strategical way to stir confusion

Now the country's at a split it's left or right dissolve the union

Those who have lost raise your fists say "aye"

Those who were wronged but resist stand high

No rules for the suits legislation that they wrote

Cause you're a number in the game and you're another empty vote

Okay with this machine

And corporate disease

The slaves to wages bound

They make the world go round

Alright with this red tape

And public dead weight

The ones you cannot trust

They don't look out for us
