Lagwagon - The Cog In The Machine lyrics

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 by headlines The common marks unite But force the giant's hand Cripple its demand David and Goliath Sanction appetite Let the fuel run dry It needs you to survive Citizens too sensitive to face the urgency They settle for fight, flight or freeze Senses weary, hopeless meat, their children have to eat The smallest monsters to defeat Paralyzed by need But force the giant's hand Cripple its demand David and Goliath Sanction appetite Let the fuel run dry They need you to survive Wide-eyed Infected DNA Injected into cells Holding its host alive They only strive 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 cells Holding its host alive They only strive for wealth Pigs We only strive for wealth We only strive for wealth The cog in the machine
