The Cog in the Machine


Terrorized by threat of size, the cog in the machine
He settles for the crooked line
Their pandering to the "small" points, abortion, guns and creed
Our polar voices buy headlines

The common must unite

We'll force the giant's hand
Cripple its demand
David and Goliath
Sates an appetite
Let the fuel run dry
They need you to survive

Citizens too sensitive to face the urgency
They settle for fight, flight or freeze
Senses, weary, hope to speak his children have to eat
The smallest musters to defeat

Paralyzed by need

Or force the giant's hand
Cripples its demand
David and Goliath
Sates an appetite
Let the fuel run dry
They need you to survive

Wide-eyed
Infected DNA
Injected into self
Holding its holster
Of the only strife for wealth

He thought he had to save the world
He only had to stop destroying it
He only had to stop waiving his rights
Supporting the stream of trickle-down lies
The cog in the machine, the fundamental gene
They need it to survive

Wide-eyed
Infected DNA
Injected into self
Holding its holster
Of the only strife for wealth

Pigs

We only strive for wealth
We only strive for wealth
The cog in the machine
