System Failed Us... Again

[Intro/Chorus]
Whoa... oh... oh... The system failed us again
Whoa... oh... oh... The system failed us again

[Verse 1]
Factory layoff, welfare checks
Who's to blame for the state we're in?
The system failed us
Government housing, concentration camps
Ghetto barriers separate each class
The system failed us

[Chorus]
Whoa... oh... oh... The system failed us again
Whoa... oh... oh... The system failed us again

[Verse 2]
We've been pushed down into extinction
Talking about the infirmed, the elderly
Families can't afford health insurance
Have to choose—groceries to eat or medicine to live

[Verse 3]
Native cultures, praise the old
Through experience, they've seen it all
The system failed us
There's a power in control
Making sure they won't teach the young
The system failed us

[Chorus]
Whoa... oh... oh... The system failed us again
Whoa... oh... oh... The system failed us again

[Verse 4]
At charity care, they treat you like shit
They've got jobs, so they don't care
So you must bow like a slave
Your future depends on the decisions they make

[Refrain]
The system failed us
The system failed us
The system failed us...

[Bridge]
See benefits being taken away
From the people whose money you take
The system failed us
Perhaps they know a little too much
Get rid of them before they talk
The system failed us

[Chorus]
Whoa... oh... oh... The system failed us again
Whoa... oh... oh... The system failed us again

[Outro]
The system failed us
The system failed us
The system failed us
