Another Cog in the Machine

Let's work men!
One! Two! One! Two, let's go!
One! Two! One! Two, three, Go!
Put your backs into it, lads!
No slacking off!
You're can 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 old heavy hammer that I go swing
Massive throbbing in my brain
And it's drive, drive, driving me insane

All in all, 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 labors 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

All in all, 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

All in all, 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
