Lyrics

Waking up again another day:
I guess I must have slept,
but it doesn't feel that way
Another midnight call with India:
Fixing shit that doesn't matter
For another cog half a world away.
These cogs are rusting, soon they're gonna break,
There's only so much more that I can take.
Wearing out like an old battery
They're slowly draining my humanity
Sometimes I wonder why we're still here
They don't give a shit about us,
And that's becoming clear
Coding's just a modern factory,
We're writing our own replacements,
So the owners can make some more money
These cogs are rusting, soon they're gonna break,
There's only so much more that I can take.
Wearing out like an old battery
They're slowly draining my humanity
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa
We're doing our best, but there's no time to rest
You can sleep when you're dead they say
This can't be right, but there's no time to fight,
We've got too many bills to pay
There was a dream not all that long ago,
Techno Utopia, seemed oh so possible.
But now we've seen that dream has been betrayed,
Lust for accumulation drove it away.
Oh hell it's the capitalists and they've come to take it all,
They could feed the world, they could house the poor but they'd rather see you crawl!
These cogs are rusting, soon they're gonna break,
There's only so much more that I can take.
Wearing out like an old battery
They're slowly draining my humanity
