LYRICS:
4 AM, I'm on my way
Working on the railroad to earn my pay
All day long I strike and pound
as I DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE those stakes into the ground
Every day the same old thing
Same old heavy hammer that I go swing
Massive throbbing in my brain
and it's It's DRIVE DRIVE DRIVING me insane!
All in all I'm just another
Cog in the machine
All my life I slave for a
Reward that's never seen|
Doubt that I'll get out of here
But Lord knows I can dream
Something more than being just
Another cog in the machine
"Carry on" is what they say
Telling us we'll see our labor's fruits one day
Soon this rail will take men far
As they DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE those big box cars
So we work to pave the way
A better tomorrow but a harsh today
Still I fail to see the light
As we DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE all through the night!
All in all I'm just another
cog in the machine
All my life I slave for a
Reward that's never seen
I can't keep from wondering just
What does it all mean
Something more than being just
Another cog in the machine
All in all I'm just another
cog in the machine
We can't all be royalty
Or grace the silver screen
I was born to be another
Cog in the machine
Caring for my family
On me they all can lean
Working hard but living for
The moments in between
In the end each one of us is
Just a cog in the machine

My god, the percussion in this is awesome. It makes an awesome feel of men and women working in a forge or, well, building railroad tracks. I always love songs who use the sounds that fit with their topic, it helps to immerse you in the story they're telling. Reminds me of A Mariner's Revenge Song's use of instruments like an acoustic guitar, accordion, and tambourine (don't hear that often) to make it sound like the kind of song that sailors on a ship would sing together. Brilliant work!
