a part of something greater the pride of industry or just another brick they laid to build a factory today we turn in harmony the motor running clean but what happens when the gears get sick of the machine keep falling down dominoes who are the ones in control carts on a rail restless souls all we leave behind is smoke as the wheels go it s a train headed off the tracks there s safety in numbers but there is also strength and there are more of us than there will ever be of them a workforce slowly drowning the tired becoming sick black air blows out the chimneys from the fuse already lit you rest your head on dynamite so you ll wake and atone for every little finger that that gets worked to the bone keep falling down dominoes who are the ones in control carts on a rail restless souls all we leave behind is smoke as the wheels go it s a train headed off the tracks it s a train headed off the tracks it s raining it s pouring on top this sinking boat we re taking on water this town won t stay afloat they still wave their proud flag a clever disguise but once you look closer a change grows inside keep falling down dominoes who are the ones in control carts on a rail restless souls all we leave behind is smoke as the wheels go it s a train headed off the tracks it s a train headed off the tracks
