The Machine and Me

[Verse] Wake up in the gray dawn No time for dreams to play Chasing the clock In this endless maze [Verse 2] Neon lights flicker bright In a world that's lost its sway Heartbeats in sync In the corporate ballet [Chorus] Just a cog in the machine Running on caffeine Trading time for green In the boss's scheme [Verse 3] Emails and deadlines With no end in sight Office walls closing in In the pale blue light [Bridge] A pixelated paycheck Keeps me in line Data and deadlines Sharing their grind [Chorus] Just a cog in the machine Running on caffeine Trading time for green In the boss's scheme
