A Clockwork Out of Order Lyrics


Far from any sense I do my routine move

Mankind's stupidity is what I really prove

Caught in a complex mind trap

Money can never fill that gap

I – a part of a huge evil machine

A brutal enemy on which mankind lean

Here I am – a producer of death

Yes a slave of work I am

I've lost my dignity and I've lost my pride

Millions of others equally on my side

Fed and greased with oil

Dirty lies from the cradle to the grave

Rules for us to safely behave

Work has imprisoned us in a cave

Loyalty to whom? I ask myself

Who has the right to force me into production – to steal my time?

Here I am – a producer of death

Yes a slave of work I am

As a mindless cog in the wheel I do my part

But I do it with hate that is bound to almost tear me apart

I've realized I don't wanna conform

But who are the bastards who make up society's norm?

An industrial wasteland – no hope for tomorrow

Lives filled with eternal sorrow

A fear of the factory horror

That's why I'm proud to admit it

I didn't go to work today

And I won't go tomorrow

I'm not a clockwork out of order

Representing mankind's new order

Now I live for pleasure

The treasures of our earth

Wasn't that the reason

I was given birth?

I've found dignity I've found pride

One day – millions of others equally on my side
