Mechanical Man Lyrics

Part of the nameless masses

 Part of the big machine

 You're nothing but a cogwheel, man

 Well died, conform, replaceable

 Think - sometimes you wake up

 Act - and wonder why

 You're free to think that you're free

 But somewhere truth is lost

 The drudgery you like each day

 Is all you know, you don't complain

 

 Do you want to be a mechanical man?

 Don't you want to be free?

 Do you know your mind is no longer your own?

 

 You will always be a mechanical man

 You can never be free

 Being unaware of the powers you serve

 You life's a vicious circle

 You move but get nowhere

 The only way you know to break out

 Is dreaming on the video

 Think - you've got to shape up

 Act - to make a change

 But then you're just a chess piece

 In someone else's game

 He makes the move, you have your place

 And destiny is preordained

 

 So many others like you

 They're living senseless lives

 They will obey and walk their way

 With vacant stares and empty minds

 Think - sometimes they wake up

 Act - and wonder why

 But we are much too burned out

 To light the flame of hope

 The revolution will not come

 Our minds are tied behind our backs
