lyrics
Now I'm awake.
Things make more sense when I'm sleeping.
Wake up, eat, then on the drive to work
I turn into a monster.
I'm not trying to scare you.
I'm only like this when I drive.
I'm only like this when I drive.
Now I'm awake.
Things make more sense when I'm sleeping.
Over and over the same routine.
Day in and out in a state of waking sleep.
I'm beginning to feel like a robot.
Am I awake?
I'm beginning to feel like a robot.
I can't help it.
You don't understand I'm not myself.
My spine is twisted, aching all the time.
Patience, peace and state of mind
escaping me.
Grinding my teeth while I sleep.
In a factory downtown,
try and take the most menial of tasks
and turn it into something you can be proud of.
And I know the days are long.
But keep holding on and maybe get that chance
to one day do something you might really love.
And have a little more self respect,
and earn a little more than minimum wage.
I won't be your monkey, won't be your robot.
Things make more sense when I'm sleeping.
Wake up, eat, then on the drive to work
I turn into a monster.
I'm not trying to scare you.
I'm only like this when I drive.
I'm only like this when I drive.
Now I'm awake.
Things make more sense when I'm sleeping.
Over and over the same routine.
Day in and out in a state of waking sleep.
I'm beginning to feel like a robot.
Am I awake?
I'm beginning to feel like a robot.
I can't help it.
You don't understand I'm not myself.
My spine is twisted, aching all the time.
Patience, peace and state of mind
escaping me.
Grinding my teeth while I sleep.
In a factory downtown,
try and take the most menial of tasks
and turn it into something you can be proud of.
And I know the days are long.
But keep holding on and maybe get that chance
to one day do something you might really love.
And have a little more self respect,
and earn a little more than minimum wage.
I won't be your monkey, won't be your robot.
