Letra de A Cog in the Great Machine

Well it′s 8 a.m., I'm on my way
Today′s the same as yesterday
I drum my fingers on the wheelI 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
