The Machine

Endless repeating, eight a.m coffee
Under eye bags and morning light
Early day traffic, time moves like molasses
Living life nine to five

And in that time
I'm wasting away
I'm just a cog in the machine
That doesn't know my name
I'm just a number
Simply playing the game
And there's no need to shout
It's always this way

Getting up early and staying up late
I'm watching the calendar as the days fly away
Always today and never tomorrow
Living life day to day

And in that time
I'm wasting away
I'm just a cog in the machine
That doesn't know my name
I'm just a number
Simply playing the game
And there's no need to shout
It's always this way

Spinning round and round on a merry-go-round
Everyone is talking but I don't hear a sound
If life is a ride then I'm still in the line
I'm waiting to take my turn

And in that time
I'm wasting away
I'm just a cog in the machine
That doesn't know my name
I'm just a number
Simply playing the game
And there's no need to shout
It's always this way
