Lyrics
[Verse]
I sell my body, I sell my time,
In the factory, I earn my dime
I punch the clock, day in, day out,
As a worker, I might seem devout
[Chorus]
A cog in the machine
a pawn in the game,
Trading my hours for a meager pay
From paycheck to paycheck
I barely get by,
In this cycle of labor, I sigh and comply.
[Verse]
My dreams are dead, my spirit confined,
To monotony, I've been assigned.
But beneath this meek facade
Burns a fire you cannot downtrod
[Chorus]
A cog in the machine
a pawn in the game,
Trading my hours for a meager pay
From paycheck to paycheck
I barely get by,
In this cycle of labor, I sigh and comply.
[Bridge]
Though I sell my body, though I sell my time,
I won't surrender to this paradigm.
In the struggle for freedom, I'll one day take my stand!
[Chorus]
A cog in the machine
a pawn in the game,
Trading my hours for a meager pay
From paycheck to paycheck
I barely get by,
In this cycle of labor, I sigh and comply.
[Outro]
No longer will I simply sigh and comply!
No longer will I simply sigh and comply!
[Verse]
I sell my body, I sell my time,
In the factory, I earn my dime
I punch the clock, day in, day out,
As a worker, I might seem devout
[Chorus]
A cog in the machine
a pawn in the game,
Trading my hours for a meager pay
From paycheck to paycheck
I barely get by,
In this cycle of labor, I sigh and comply.
I sigh and comply...
[Verse]
My dreams are dead, my spirit confined,
To monotony, I've been assigned.
But beneath this meek facade
Burns a fire you cannot downtrod
[Chorus]
A cog in the machine
a pawn in the game,
Trading my hours for a meager pay
From paycheck to paycheck
I barely get by,
In this cycle of labor, I sigh and comply.
I sigh and comply...
[Bridge]
Though I sell my body, though I sell my time,
I won't surrender to this paradigm.
In the struggle for freedom, I'll one day take my stand!
[Chorus]
A cog in the machine
a pawn in the game,
Trading my hours for a meager pay
From paycheck to paycheck
I barely get by,
In this cycle of labor, I sigh and comply.
I sigh and comply...
[Outro]
No longer will I simply sigh and comply!
No longer will I simply sigh and comply!
[Chorus]
A cog in the machine
a pawn in the game,
Trading my hours for a meager pay
From paycheck to paycheck
I barely get by,
In this cycle of labor, I sigh and comply.
I sigh and comply...
[Bridge]
Though I sell my body, though I sell my time,
I won't surrender to this paradigm.
In the struggle for freedom, I'll one day take my stand!
[Chorus]
A cog in the machine
a pawn in the game,
Trading my hours for a meager pay
From paycheck to paycheck
I barely get by,
In this cycle of labor, I sigh and comply.
I sigh and comply...
[Outro]
No longer will I simply sigh and comply!
No longer will I simply sigh and comply!
