Today is another day as a cog in a machine Careless of what I've done or where I've been But I am not willing to stay as an interchangeable piece To be replaced by another cog fresh with grease I smile and laugh and grumble and cry And the machine bears down more weight So they may be satisfied Careless of my current state But I'll not hold everything they want me to I'll only go so far as to what I can do And some day I'll leave this mechanical cage To go off on my own and flip to my next chapter's page And I'll bide my time for the moment I get to say I'll testify against the corporate machine on Judgement Day

Cog
Today is another day as a cog in a machine Careless of what I've done or where I've been But I am not willing to stay as an interchangeable piece To be replaced by another cog fresh with grease I smile and laugh and grumble and cry And the machine bears down more weight So they may be satisfied Careless of my current state But I'll not hold everything they want me to I'll only go so far as to what I can do And some day I'll leave this mechanical cage To go off on my own and flip to my next chapter's page And I'll bide my time for the moment I get to say I'll testify against the corporate machine on Judgement Day
