Gilded Cog Lyrics by Jamface

Zen Master

2012

[Verse 1]
I was born a rebel, I got old today
See, I lost my heart, [?] seize my last day
I don't wanna change me, the world around me will
The pulse savin’ me is causin' [?]. and the fashion smells

[Chorus]
I don't ever wanna be a gilded cog, I don’t ever wanna work the clock
I don't ever wanna be a gilded cog, I don't ever wanna work the clock
I don't ever wanna be a gilded cog, I don't ever wanna work the clock
I don't ever wanna be a gilded cog, I don't ever wanna work the clock

[Verse 2]
Ah, I lovе [?] tied up and waiting
Bound and caged on a [?] behind your bеd
Decay while lives are wastin', [?] lives we’re wastin’
Concentrating on while we laugh

[Chorus]
Well, I don't ever wanna be a gilded cog, I don’t ever wanna work the clock
I don't ever wanna be a gilded cog, I don't ever wanna work the clock
I don't ever wanna be a gilded cog, I don’t ever wanna work the clock
I don't ever wanna be a gilded cog, I don't ever wanna work the clock, bullshit!

[Bridge]
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 the clock)
I don't ever wanna work the clock (I don't ever wanna be a gilded cog, I don't ever wanna work the clock)
I don't ever wanna be gilded cog, oh, don't you get it? (I don't ever wanna be a gilded cog, I don't ever wanna work the clock)
I don't ever wanna work the clock, one more time! (I don't ever wanna be a gilded cog, I don't ever wanna work the clock)
I don't ever wanna be a gilded cog, I don't ever wanna work the clock
I don't ever wanna be a gilded cog, I don't ever wanna work the clock
I don't ever wanna be a gilded cog, I don't ever wanna work the clock
I don't ever wanna be a gilded cog, I don't ever wanna work the clock
