I feel like I'm only half awake
Like walking in a maze with a goal that's never clear
Dreaming of a better life than this
But today's another day!
Hey now!
No time for useless reveries!
I can't give up right now
Or my life will turn to dust!
Luckily, we have all these bits and bobs
To keep us pacified, ignorant to what is wrong
No more slacking!
I'm on the job!
Yes, I know that everyone has to play their part
We're all told that work will give us life
This is the price of freedom. indeed
We've got our sole duty
For the greater good
We keep the wheels turning round
Come on!
Rev the engine of this beast!
Dream Eating Machine
Nurturing the youngest of us all
They'll never see it coming
The things we have in store
Just enjoy the good moments while you can
Today might be the day
You'll be made to play your part
Everyone can be made to fit a mold
Even diamonds can be crushed
"Hey, this isn't the thing I had in mind!"
Darling, what did you think?
That the world was made for you?
No more slacking!
I'm on the job!
Yes, I know that everyone has to play their part!
We're all told that work will give us life
This is the price of freedom. indeed
We've got our sole duty
For the greater good
We keep the wheels turning round
Come on!
Rev the engine of this beast!
Dream Eating Machine
Here we are
In the end
Don't look back, it's too late to turn
If we think of all we have lost
Can we really say we're alright?
"Progress" seems to be the thing we all adore
Hurry, pick up the pace! Or you will get left behind!
Look sharp!
Don't let them see you're at your wit's end
You're a grown-up
So shoulder the burdens of this life!
This is the price of freedom. indeed
We've got our sole duty
For the greater good
We keep the wheels turning round
Come on!
Rev the engine of this beast!
