The Death Of The Cog lyrics

Oh, mr. Hamilton, what have you done? Look at this terrible trend you've begun! You make me sick, you contemptible dog I blame you for the death of the cog! Clocks used to be such magnificent things Beautiful sprockets and dazzling springs But you gave the people your digital beast And in turn now all gears are deceased How things have changed from when I was a boy! Clockwork would tick and would bring me much joy But, with your advent, there's no need to wind Everything charming has been left behind! Oh, mr. Hamilton, you dirty fiend Your modern timepiece is cruel and obscene! I was a lover of gears great and small They all were my friends and you've murdered them all! Ah How could a person commit such a crime To murder immaculate keepers of time? Why should a person so foul get away? Hamilton, you're gonna pay! So, mr. Hamilton, just watch your back Hide all those digital clocks on your rack They'll soon end up smashed to bits in a bog Because you, you, you, you, you Caused the death of the cog!
