The System

THE SYSTEM
(by Michael Jaye & David Vidal)

VERSE 1
He was tall, she was young
They were hard working, God fearing Christians
And they did everything that a couple could do just to fit in
But when Detroit hit the tubes
They came begging for food at the Midnight Mission
But they got turned away
They say comeback the next day
Must be The System

VERSE 2
You can get yourself a car and a home
In a rundown subdivision
You can suck up some brews
And blame the Catholics, Blacks, and Jews
For what you’re missing
You can get caught in the rut of just sitting on your butt smoking and bitching
Just a loser in the roll of the dice that they call The System

VERSE 3
Yeah wherever you go it’s the same old polarization
The rich are getting rich and the people getting screwed around the Nation
Well sister kissed a Prince and he turned into a dog
We’re all in the same boat
And it’s heading for the fog
Must be The System Yeah must be The System

VERSE 4
Sometimes it seems that Life is nothing but a prison
Don’t take a genius to know it’s just the human condition
Now you can act real meek and turn the other cheek and ask permission
Or you can fight fight fight with all your might to beat the system

OUTRO
You gotta fight fight fight with all your might to beat the System
To beat The System
Yeah to beat The System
