It used to be
If you wanted to listen
to some random conversation
you'd actually hear something

We were walking
down some street
well,
I was walking
He had a scooter

What if we died and this was heaven
Nah can't be
Why not
My lips are chapped

a cog in the machine
it doesn't question
it doesn't think
it doesn't realize
it does the job it was made to
until it breaks

"L'enfer, c'est les autres"
Is how the saying goes
Please stop trying
Don't take me
to hell with you

If I reject the clock
Do I reject the sun?
The moon?
You?

"Who profits more?
The cup that fulfills its purpose?
Or the drinker?"
The students didn't answer.
The bell had rung.
They wouldn't get any participation credit.
It wouldn't affect their grade.
The professor didn't care either.
He was just filling the time.
If they thought about it or not,
He would still get payed.
He fulfilled his purpose.
