Lyrics Cog in the Machine - YCK

Setting up alarms empty bed I'm getting dressed
Near the end another month and all these bills have got me pressed
I don't know if we can make it I might put them on my credit
Imma have to pay em off a different time not on my debit
Where'd the money go that's the biggest mystery
They need another stimulus they've got a couple kids to feed
From the way that things are looking we might take a second mortgage out
They've been advocating for the things they're uninformed about
What's a ballot making no change I swear the system's callous
Throwing up arms in each three branches claim it's for the check and balance
It don't matter which wing that you're part of they're on the same bird
Onto the steps of the capitol making a scene and making our names heard
I need a doctor writing a slip I need my antidepressants
Gone in a second right when that virus hit yeah that was all so unexpected
Blink of an eye when a quarter million fell off the face of the fucking earth
Down with the government we've had our sufferance they don't know what it's like to work

Those who have lost raise your fists say "aye"
Those who were wronged but resist stand high
No rules for the suits legislation that they wrote
Cause you're a number in the game and you're another empty vote
Okay with this machine
And corporate disease
The slaves to wages bound
They make the world go round
Alright with this red tape
And public dead weight
The ones you cannot trust
They don't look out for us

Each light inside a building represents a living person
Clocking in and clocking out I said goodbye won't be returning
Stumble up a flight of stairs I made it to the rooftop
I won't plummet to the ground if you could promise you'd stop
How is it accepted that we work a 9 to 5
When that and sleeping are 2/3rds of all the time that we're alive
How are we complicit with the things we find explicit
But we wouldn't move a finger change a system that's illicit
We don't need clean water fuck the air it stays polluted
Crooked attorneys they recruited now the facts are so disputed
2+2 to make a 5 this been the world they want to live in
Cruel administrative treason strips the rights that we were given
No way to strike won't send the message when the militia comes
Stocking these guns the flag's in flames inhaling the gas up in our lungs
Send in the SWAT we ain't forgot strategical way to stir confusion
Now the country's at a split it's left or right dissolve the union

Those who have lost raise your fists say "aye"
Those who were wronged but resist stand high
No rules for the suits legislation that they wrote
Cause you're a number in the game and you're another empty vote
Okay with this machine
And corporate disease
The slaves to wages bound
They make the world go round
Alright with this red tape
And public dead weight
The ones you cannot trust
They don't look out for us
