Wake up
Clean up
Pucker up
Eat up
Got to work
Say hi to friends
Eat again
Work more
Maybe hit the gym
Maybe not
Eat a third time
Watch tv
Go to sleep

Drive faster
Work harder
Think stronger
Ignore the recorder
It's not a disorder
Don't listen to the reporter

Sound familiar
We are all machines getting used overtime
The difference?
machines you can fix
A broken part tossed aside
A new part put in
A broken human fired
A new person replaced
Broken heart
broken hands
broken spirit
broken life
broken mind

Do this
Do that
Orders
Laws
Regiments
Told what to do
You think you have a choice
Think again
Your just another number on a list
Another ant on the ground
You want a say
Overruled
Welcome to the human race
Take your number and get in place
