I Hear & Obey Lyrics - Arcwelder

It's not Bill and it's not Scott 

It's not Brian and it's not Rob 

I don't know where to begin 

Begin where it's simple 

Begin at the end 

Begin with all you can't defend 

Begin at the end 

And disappointment brings the least 

Well, this is less than you conceive 

It ends with the first 

Before the beginning and after the end 

It can't be funny, it didn't bend 

I didn't want this at all, at all, at all 

A blindered horse, a wind up toy 

I'm on auto pilot, I am a cog in the machine 

Am I a mindless drone or heartless sap? 

Now matter how you slice it, I am a cog in the machine 

They say to stay in the school, then get a job 

But mainstream society doesn't care if your happy+ 

I play the fool, go with the mob 

Corporate America doesn't care if I'm happy 

Settle down and play along 

Die unfulfilled, just like anybody else 

And, well, now damn it now, I live a lie 

Write it down, I'm not like everybody else 

Today I march along, I follow blindly 

I do what they tell me, I hear and obey 

I sing my song, I treat 'em kindly 

You are my master, I hear and obey 

I didn't want it, it's all the same, I didn't want it, no face, no name 

I didn't want it, it's all the same, I didn't want it, big town, small game 

I didn't want it, it's all the same, I didn't want it, no risk, no gain 

I didn't want it, it's all the same, I didn't want it, big weight, small frame 

I didn't want it, it's all the same, I didn't want it, no face, no name 

I didn't want it, it's all the same, I didn't want it, big weight, small frame 

I didn't want it, it's all the same, I didn't want it, no risk, no gain
