Part of the nameless masses

Part of the big machine

You're nothing but a cogwheel, man

Well died, conform, replaceable

Think - sometimes you wake up

Act - and wonder why

You're free to think that you're free

But somewhere truth is lost

The drudgery you like each day

Is all you know, you don't complain



Do you want to be a mechanical man?

Don't you want to be free?

Do you know your mind is no longer your own?



You will always be a mechanical man

You can never be free

Being unaware of the powers you serve

You life's a vicious circle

You move but get nowhere

The only way you know to break out

Is dreaming on the video

Think - you've got to shape up

Act - to make a change

But then you're just a chess piece

In someone else's game

He makes the move, you have your place

And destiny is preordained



So many others like you

They're living senseless lives

They will obey and walk their way

With vacant stares and empty minds

Think - sometimes they wake up

Act - and wonder why

But we are much too burned out

To light the flame of hope

The revolution will not come

Our minds are tied behind our backs
