Living your life by the minutes on your clock
Forgetting reality by a mental block
You can't stand this and you can't stand that
You also know where it's been but never where it's at
All you factory girls and you factory boys
Whose been winding you up like cheap little toys?

Don't you know you suffer from metal fatigue
Rust never sleeps in the minor league
This is the problem of iron and steel
When you are a cog in a clockwork wheel
You've set your own course down a well trodden path
And made you a cog when you want to laugh

I've got metal fatigue
