I Am Not a Broken Cog in This Wretched Machine

Lyrics

Oh At the community center A concert, playing for the bands and It was precisely at this time that I realized that perhaps I wasn't going to get paid today Perhaps I wasn't going to get paid today, and my friends asked Why does that matter to you? Well No one knows me If I go away Go away tomorrow I'll need a little bit of a nest egg to keep me safe But it was precisely at this time that I realized that perhaps I would be here for awhile And it was perhaps at this time, precisely, that I began to reimagine life here forever and You love me I want to beat on the drums all day and never make anyone to pay me I just want to fit inside of any dang context I can squeeze out of this wretched machine I see the world is ballet (lay) down And all I have is All I have is myself All I have is myself All I have is me God, why's it me? Calling Why? Why me?
