You’re just a Gear in the ZOG Machine

Short satisfactions are the way you justify your actions
You are living in the moment for that hit of dopamine
Whether substances or sex and even creature comfort products
Your life's music sounds all the same

You have that typical ambition of a mid-20s student
Working part-time while going to a univeristy
In about four years you'll get that desk job you wanted
And your life will lack melody

You can try to justify with that
Bullshit fucking pseudo-science
The degree you earned at university
At the end of the day you won't come to terms
And claim you're just a gear in the Zog Machine

Certain temptations such as porn and masturbation
Will just fog up your judgement and your rationality
All distractions, diversions to hide away the damage
Just to drown out your life's melody

Holding your grudges in a bi-partisan system
Giving you the illusion of life and liberty
With your mind made up real certain
Just go check behind the curtain
Your life's music is certain to change

You can try to justify with that
Bullshit fucking pseudo-science
The degree you earned at university
At the end of the day you won't come to terms
And claim you're just a gear in the Zog Machine

You peek into the corner
Just to find yourself in horror
Just another fucking liar
Screaming "Everybody hates you"

Don't let him pry in your mind
Everything, I swear, will be fine
He is gonna try to take you but
He can never get through

His name is nihilism
And he's gonna try to schism
Try to make you think you're worthless
Make you make you wanna not care

Everything you know is
All that he opposes
Not everybody knows this
The truth is sickening

I know the truth's hard to bear
I know the truth's hard to bear
I know the truth's hard to bear
I know the truth's hard to bear
