Cog in the Social Machine

They're going to keep you under tabs 
To see the way that you act 
Just to make it clear who's in charge 
Another spirit at large 
And another cog in the social machine

The nation of civil unrest 
A country born to be blessed 
But still no one seems to see 
The longer we cut, the longer we bleed 
Another gear in the murder machine

They try and clean up our looks 
With history books 
Saying it's a lie we're doomed to repeat 
The longer we march on broken feet 
We become just another cog in the social machine

This reminds me of My Chemical Romance's "Teenagers" because of the lyrics"another cog in the murder machine' I wonder if you drew inspiration from it? But I think this is good I like the idea you present here , kind of a call to arms. And it's true they will continue to do what they want unless we change it.

Thank you! And yes I did draw inspiration from that song, hopefully not so much as to where it doesnt seem like my own, but its a song I feel speaks the truth about the perception of youth.
