part of the machine

another day

I'm late for work

I've got to hurry up

waking up late

I need more sleep

I never get enough

shut the alarm 

shave the face

drink some Listerine

the working day

it will not wait

you're part of the machine

down the stairs

out the door

time to start the day

take the train

into the city

you don't have right-of-way

down your throat

you will coat

with well-needed caffeine

time to go

you must know

you're part of the machine

safe at work

cubicle

you're frazzled but you're fine

punch the time clock

just be glad

you got to work on time

one more day

in loserville

the world outside is mean

but you'll get through it

'cause you know

you're part of the machine
