I Hear & Obey (Arcwelder)

(music arcwelder/words w. graber & s. macdonald) 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 bring the least Well this is less the you conceived 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 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 no face no name I didn't want it... it's all the same big town small game I didn't want it... it's all the same no risk no gain I didn't want it... it's all the same big weight small frame
