Diane Zeigler - Cog In The Wheel

I thought I'd be king of the mountain
When I was a child
Thought I'd be standing on the top of the pile
Thought I'd be giving out orders
When I reached this age
I thought I'd be sitting pretty on a rich man's wage

But it's one for the money and two for ambition
And the clock screams out every hour
For the time they steal
It's another day gone and another day older you feel
Spinning around like a cog in the wheel
Nose to the grindstone
I keep my head down low
At my desk in a cubicle by the window
With 83 square inches
That I can call my own
Small wonder why a good mind will roam

Sing a song of survival
For 8 hours a day
it's the only good reason to stay
I'll never be king of the mountain
I don't want to crawl to the top of the pile
'Cause I'm proud to walk among the rank and file
I thought I'd be king of the mountain
When I was a child
Thought I'd be standing on the top of the pile
Thought I'd be giving out orders
When I reached this age
I thought I'd be sitting pretty on a rich man's wage

But it's one for the money and two for ambition
And the clock screams out every hour
For the time they steal
It's another day gone and another day older you feel
Spinning around like a cog in the wheel
Nose to the grindstone
I keep my head down low
At my desk in a cubicle by the window
With 83 square inches
That I can call my own
Small wonder why a good mind will roam

Sing a song of survival
For 8 hours a day
it's the only good reason to stay
I'll never be king of the mountain
I don't want to crawl to the top of the pile
'Cause I'm proud to walk among the rank and file
