Mechanical Man |
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 |
