Day in, day out Punch in, punch out Unthinking routine automated Set out at dusk Come in at dawn Unblinking rhythm integrated Robotic in trance of the taker's tune Chugging along on the taker's track Convinced of the right in the wrong I do Hiding behind how I give it back Devour the world A tale of the harvest A song of the sunset We take the light in your life away Stock up on their lifeblood We suck their wellspring dry But a flicker in my soul asks me "who am I?" Keep them under our heel Monopolize supply But a devil on my shoulder asks me "who am I?" We take the light in your life away A lake of poison ashes A river running dry But a flicker in my soul asks me "who am I?" Hold every drop of water Monopolize supply But a devil on my shoulder asks me "who am I?" Devour the world A tale of the harvest A song of the nightfall We take the light in your life away Robotic in trance of the taker's tune Chugging along on the taker's track In the dead of the night I pay my dues Believing the lie that I give it back Out on the swell Here at the desk I am the same man in the same game Day in, day out Within, without I am the drain, I am the taker
