[Verse 1: Elias Soriano]
No uphill battles, just wars
Comin' to shore droppin' literary soldiers
Bold enough to hold the line
Era-definin' with the revolution on my shoulders
Breakin' spokes on the wheel
That's turnin' girl against boy
Boy against girl, world against man
Man against world
The average soul is on a path to starvin' from…

[Pre-Chorus: Elias Soriano]
Lack of any kind of feelin' connected to compassion
Compartmentalizin' every action
The wheel controllin' this machine is about to be broken

[Chorus: Elias Soriano with Rasheed Thomas, B.C. Kochmit, & Robb Rivera]
Metal rubbin' against steel - lifeless
(Wheel against will)
You're rusted over. I'm bustin' loose
(Wheel against will)
Metal rubbin' against steel - lifeless
(Wheel against will)
Oh, you're rusted over. I'm bustin' loose
(Wheel against will)
[Verse 2: Elias Soriano]
'Round, and around, and around
Whittle down every tooth
Every gear inside goin' 'round
Common ground ain't so common on the feet
When the ground is a street
Made of all the broken dreams
Of the weak, the poor, the feeble, and the meek
Powerless, helpless, homeless on the street
Cowardice, gutless, spineless, heartless
Call 'em misbegotten
'Cause it's gotten so rotten from…

[Pre-Chorus: Elias Soriano]
Lack of any kind of feelin' connected to compassion
Compartmentalizin' every action
The wheel controllin' this machine is about to be broken

[Chorus: Elias Soriano with Rasheed Thomas, B.C. Kochmit, & Robb Rivera]
Metal rubbin' against steel - lifeless
(Wheel against will)
You're rusted over. I'm bustin' loose
(Wheel against will)
Metal rubbin' against steel - lifeless
(Wheel against will)
Oh, you're rusted over. I'm bustin' loose
(Wheel against will)
[Guitar Solo: B.C. Kochmit]

[Refrain: Elias Soriano, Rasheed Thomas, B.C. Kochmit, & Robb Rivera]
Wheel against will

[Chorus: Elias Soriano with Rasheed Thomas, B.C. Kochmit, & Robb Rivera]
Metal rubbin' against steel - lifeless
(Wheel against will)
You're rusted over. I'm bustin' loose
(Wheel against will)
Metal rubbin' against steel - lifeless
(Wheel against will)
Oh, you're rusted over. I'm bustin' loose
(Wheel against will)

[Outro Chorus: Elias Soriano with Rasheed Thomas, B.C. Kochmit, & Robb Rivera]
Metal rubbin' against steel - lifeless
(Wheel against will)
You're rusted over. I'm bustin' loose
(Wheel against will)
Metal rubbin' against steel - lifeless
(Wheel against will)
Oh, you're rusted over. I'm bustin' loose
Wheel against will
