Gilded Cog - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I was born a rebel, I got old today

See, I lost my heart, it's calling to seize my last today

I don’t wanna change me, the world around me will

The pulse savin' me is causing nasty and infectious swells

I don't ever wanna be a gilded cog, I don’t ever wanna work a clock

I don't ever wanna be a gilded cog, I don't ever wanna work a clock

Ah, I love a [?] that tied up and waiting

Bound and gagged on a rack behind your bеd

Decay whilst lives are wastin', fading whilst thе lives were wastin’

Concentrating on what we left

Well, I don’t ever wanna be a gilded cog, I don't ever wanna work a clock

I don’t ever wanna be a gilded cog, I don't ever wanna work a clock

I don't ever wanna be a gilded cog, I don't ever wanna work a clock

I don’t ever wanna be a gilded cog, I don't ever wanna work a clock, bullshit!

Can you explain your life like clockwork and arithmetic?

'Cause everybody dies but not everyone lives

Can you explain your life like clockwork and arithmetic?

'Cause everybody dies but not everyone lives

Can you explain your life like clockwork and arithmetic? (I don't ever wanna be a gilded cog)

'Cause everybody dies but not everyone lives (I don't ever wanna work the clock)

Can you explain your life like clockwork and arithmetic? (I don't ever wanna be a gilded cog, I don't ever wanna be a gilded cog!)

(Chorus)

I don't ever wanna be a gilded cog, don't you get it? (I don't ever wanna be a gilded cog, I don't ever wanna work a clock)

I don't ever wanna work a clock (I don't ever wanna be a gilded cog, I don't ever wanna work a clock)

I don't ever wanna be gilded cog, I really mean it (I don't ever wanna be a gilded cog, I don't ever wanna work a clock)

I don't ever wanna work a clock, one more time! (I don't ever wanna be a gilded cog, I don't ever wanna work a clock)

I don't ever wanna be a gilded cog, I don't ever wanna work a clock
