It's not Bill and it's not Scott
It's not Brian and it's not Rob
I don't know where to begin
Begin where it's simple
Begin at the end
Begin with all you can't defend
Begin at the end
And disappointment brings the least
Well, this is less than you conceive
It ends with the first
Before the beginning and after the end
It can't be funny, it didn't bend
I didn't want this at all, at all, at all
A blindered horse, a wind up toy
I'm on auto pilot, I am a cog in the machine
Am I a mindless drone or heartless sap?
Now matter how you slice it, I am a cog in the machine
They say to stay in the school, then get a job
But mainstream society doesn't care if your happy+
I play the fool, go with the mob
Corporate America doesn't care if I'm happy
Settle down and play along
Die unfulfilled, just like anybody else
And, well, now damn it now, I live a lie
Write it down, I'm not like everybody else
Today I march along, I follow blindly
I do what they tell me, I hear and obey
I sing my song, I treat 'em kindly
You are my master, I hear and obey
I didn't want it, it's all the same, I didn't want it, no face, no name
I didn't want it, it's all the same, I didn't want it, big town, small game
I didn't want it, it's all the same, I didn't want it, no risk, no gain
I didn't want it, it's all the same, I didn't want it, big weight, small frame
I didn't want it, it's all the same, I didn't want it, no face, no name
I didn't want it, it's all the same, I didn't want it, big weight, small frame
I didn't want it, it's all the same, I didn't want it, no risk, no gain
