Cog in the Grind
Out of breath again
As I jump right out of bed
Making for the bus stop
For another slice of bread
Receive the order
Don't think too hard now
The compensation is just days away
Based on percentages
You should be glad to be here
It's hard to quit
While you watch jobs all disappear
No independence
No roof or shelter
No self esteem left, you'll earn your shame
Ambition
Precision
Dynamic
Endeavour
I'm scared I'll be at this job forever
You're a real good guy man
Yeah they think you're funny
There's plenty more work
But they can't give you more money
Pick up those knees
Cog in the grind
And don't forget: "out of sight, out of mind"
Give me a break
And I'll bend it til it's broken
Give me the grease
I'm the wheel that has spoken
I do more here
Than anyone else
To keep the wheel spinning, that's what I tell myself
Efficient
Consistent
Your performance is great
I'm starting to become everything that I hate
Moxie
Gumption
Give us your get up and go!
This is the only thing to do I know
I couldn't get another one if I tried
Too uneducated
And far too under-qualified
So I just go home to dinner
And maybe an ice cold beer
So I can feel like a winner
And for a moment
I'll slip outta here
As I jump right out of bed
Making for the bus stop
For another slice of bread
Receive the order
Don't think too hard now
The compensation is just days away
Based on percentages
You should be glad to be here
It's hard to quit
While you watch jobs all disappear
No independence
No roof or shelter
No self esteem left, you'll earn your shame
Ambition
Precision
Dynamic
Endeavour
I'm scared I'll be at this job forever
You're a real good guy man
Yeah they think you're funny
There's plenty more work
But they can't give you more money
Pick up those knees
Cog in the grind
And don't forget: "out of sight, out of mind"
Give me a break
And I'll bend it til it's broken
Give me the grease
I'm the wheel that has spoken
I do more here
Than anyone else
To keep the wheel spinning, that's what I tell myself
Efficient
Consistent
Your performance is great
I'm starting to become everything that I hate
Moxie

Give us your get up and go!
This is the only thing to do I know

And far too under-qualified
So I just go home to dinner
And maybe an ice cold beer
So I can feel like a winner
And for a moment
I'll slip outta here
