Well it's 8 a.m., I'm on my way Today's the same as yesterday I drum my fingers on the wheel I know my life the next eight hours Inside the box we sit and do The things that we are paid to do We contribute to the GDP And the wheels are spinning around And you know you're nothing more than A cog in the great machine That's all you've ever been All your life But I need a brand new SUV Fendi, Gucci, D&G It takes a lot of skill and devotion To get that bonus and promotion Tut the monitor is in a blur The cargo ships go round the world The bargains pile up to the sky And the planet hums a foggy lullaby And you know you're nothing more than A cog in the great machine No matter what objectives you achieve And I stare into the numbers on my computer screen What do they really do What do they mean All the copper and glass All the plastic and gas You know, it comes from somewhere It's mined out of the ground It's transported around 'Till it's made by someone Sold by someone And ends up in a landfill In a landfill! Why do I keep doing this Why do I keep doing this Day after day after day after day I'm doing this And you know you're nothing more than A cog in the great machine That's chugging along, full steam Towards the edge And like a spot on the horizon Is the day when you will die The days just fly on by But you know you've done your part You know it in your heart You've been A cog in the great machine
