The Cog In The Machine

LAGWAGON · Hang 2014 · Track 04 of 12

Written by Asher Simon, Brian Wahlstrom, Joey Cape, Lagwagon

Terrorized by threat of size the cog in the machine He settles for the crooked line Their pandering to the small points, abortion, guns and creed Our polar voices by headlines

The common marks unite

But force the giant's hand Cripple its demand David and Goliath Sanction appetite Let the fuel run dry It needs you to survive

Citizens too sensitive to face the urgency They settle for fight, flight or freeze Senses weary, hopeless meat, their children have to eat The smallest monsters to defeat

Paralyzed by need

But force the giant's hand Cripple its demand David and Goliath Sanction appetite Let the fuel run dry They need you to survive

Wide-eyed Infected DNA Injected into cells Holding its host alive They only strive for wealth

He thought he had to save the world He only had to stop destroying it He only had to stop Waiving his rights Supporting the stream Of trickle down lies The cog in the machine The fundamental gene They need it to survive

Wide-eyed Infected DNA Injected into cells Holding its host alive They only strive for wealth

Pigs

We only strive for wealth We only strive for wealth The cog in the machine
