lyrics

There’s an expression of reflection in your tired eyes
We run in circles in the boxes where we spend our lives
I am a number
I’m a child of the meat machine
Eating my brethren to achieve my corporate victory
The smoke of burning bodies blotting out the blackened sun
We live in fear of the attention of the dark one
There is no solace in the image on the voyeur’s screen
I am a number
I’m a child of the meat machine

A child of the meat machine has not the time to speak
Without the corporation it is feeble, mute, and weak
A number is a fraction of the assets of the whole
An agent of its capital its life is bought and sold
The image of obedience from its head down to its feet
The child’s but a number only worth its weight in meat
I’m but a number I’m a child of the meat machine
I’m just a number
Just a child of the meat machine
