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 it's 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 it's host alive
They only strive for wealth

Pigs

We only strive for wealth [2x]
The cog in the machine
