The Cog in the Machine

[Verse 1]
Terrorized by threat of size, the cog in the machine
He settles for the crooked line
They're pandering to the small points, abortion, guns and creed
Our polar voices by headlines

[Pre-Chorus 1]
The common marks unite

[Chorus]
We'll force the giant's hand
Cripple its demand, David and Goliath
Sanction appetite, let the fuel run dry
It needs you to survive

[Verse 2]
Citizens too sensitive to face the urgency
They settle for fight, flight or freeze
Senses weary, hopeless meat, their children have to eat
Those smallest monsters to defeat

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Paralyzed by need

[Chorus]
We'll force the giant's hand
Cripple its demand, David and Goliath
Sanction appetite, let the fuel run dry
It needs you to survive

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

[Bridge]
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

[Post-Chorus]
Wide-eyed
Infected DNA
Injected into cells
Holding its host alive
They only strive for wealth
"Pigs"

[Outro]
We only strive for wealth
We only strive for wealth
The cog in the machine
