The Cog in the Machine

Terrorized by threat of size, the cog in the machine,
 He settles for the crooked line.
 Their pandering to the "small" points: abortion, guns and creed.
 Our polar voices buy headlines.
 The common must unite.
 We'll force the giant's hand,
 Cripple its demand.
 David and Goliath
 Sates an appetite.
 Let the fuel run dry
 They need to do survive
 Citizens too sensitive to face the urgency,
 They settle for fight, flight or freeze.
 Senses, weary, hope to speak his children have to eat
 The smallest musters to defeat.
 Paralyzed by need
 Or force the giant's hand,
 Cripples its demand.
 David and Goliath
 Sates an appetite.
 Let the fuel run dry
 They need to do survive
 Wide eyed
 Infected DNA
 Injected into self
 Holding its holster
 Of the only strife for wealth
 He thought he had to save the world.
 He only had to stop destroying it.
 He only had to stop waiving his rights,
 Supporting the stream of trickle down lies.
 The cog in the machine - the fundamental gene
 They need it to survive!
 Wide eyed
 Infected DNA
 Injected into self
 Holding its holster
 Of the only strife for wealth
 Pigs
 We only strive for wealth
 We only strive for wealth
