Living your life by the minutes on your clock

Forgetting reality by a mental block

You can't stand this and you can't stand that

You also know where it's been but never where it's at

All you factory girls and you factory boys

Whose been winding you up like cheap little toys?



Don't you know you suffer from metal fatigue

Rust never sleeps in the minor league

This is the problem of iron and steel

When you are a cog in a clocwork wheel

You've set your own course down a well trodden path

And made you a cog when you want to laugh



I've got metal fatigue
