lyrics

We counted cameras, checked for tags lifting whatever
Carried handguns to show security if they checked out pockets
We were like clockwork, committed to crime cuz often
It's what made us feel alive instead of something more robotic
I digress

Cuz now that gun is in my hand, my temple pulsing where its pressed

I commit crime just to keep my conscious intact
Take my beatings with the smile of a psyche that's been cracked
I'm throwing punches at the cages of my social prison cell
Yanking out my life support, demanding unplugged from this hell
But you've been tamed

Stripped of all your power so now all you do's complain
Yeah it seems to me the only thing you ever do's complain

The skies grow darker and today like any day
Will be the last day of my life, at least if I have any say
But I digress, yes and the rest of you've been tamed
I can see it in the eyes of almost everybodys face

Let all the moments blur together, forever to be forgotten
Just like clockwork, the gears will never see their labor's product
Like the onslaught of panic that collapses on my chest
Every building that we burn down let's them know their time is spent

We are like clockwork, committed to crime cuz often
its what makes us feel alive instead of something less robotic
But I'll take my chances, disgracing what they hold sacred
Just to spit it in the faces of the keepers of my cage,
Who I detest

But I guess since all you do is take then you can take two to the chest
And if you got some shit to say then you can take two to the chest
