Another Cog in the Machine by The Cog Is Dead Lyrics

Let's work men!
One! Two! One! Two, let's go!
One! Two! One! Two, three, GO!
Put your backs into it lads!
No slackin’ off!
You're gonna have plenty of rest when you're dead!
Keep it up!

4 am. I'm on my way
Working on the railroad to earn my pay
All day long, I strike and pound
As I drive drive drive
Those stakes into the ground
Everyday the same ol' thing
Same ol'every hammer that I go swing
Massive throbbing in my brain
And it's drive drive driving me insane

On and on I'm just another cog in the machine
All my life I slave for a reward that's never seen
Doubt that I'll get out of here, but Lord knows I can dream
Something more than being just another
Cog in the machine
"Carry on" is what they say
Telling us we'll see our labor's fruits one day
Soon this rail will take men far
As they drive drive drive
Those big box cars
So we work to pave the way
A better tomorrow but a harsh today
Still I fail to see the light
As we drive drive drive all through the night

On and on I'm just another cog in the machine
All my life I slave for a reward that's never seen
I can't keep from wondering just what does it all mean
Something more than being just another
Cog in the machine

YEAH!

On and on I'm just another cog in the machine
We can't all be royalty, or grace the silver screen
I was born to be another cog in the machine
Caring for my family, on me they all can lean
Working hard but living for the moments in between
In the end each one of us is just a
Cog in the machine
