The Mortal Taint - Gears and Wheels

The wheels keep on turning
There's nothing to stop the line
Got to keep those quotas
Keep deliveries on time
Caught up in the machine
Crushed by the gears and wheels
Thinking it's something obscene
To take some time for yourself
Cos nothing will stop the line
There's nothing but dollar signs
It's all that's in their sights
And all that's on their minds
But surely there's more to life
Than these grinding gears and wheels
And maybe there's beauty in life
Beyond all the corporate deals
I'd like to get back on the road
And travel again for myself
Feel the grass under my toes
Not making someone else's wealth
An original and independent song by The Mortal Taint. Recorded at Studio 57 in Sydney, Australia, and presented as is, without editing, autotune, or AI. This is the last song for my EP, I Am Not A Robot, which I am making for the 50 Songs In 90 Days song writing challenge for 2024.
