[Verse 1]
The system's failing
The common man
While the rich get richer
It's all part of their plan, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
"Paranoia," says the government
It is our only source
Of our discontent
[Verse 2]
The system's failing
For you and me
The game has been rigged
Just ask Mr. King, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Brutality is what the nation saw
Apathy doesn't help at all...
Wake up
[Chorus]
The system's failing
Justice is burning
The people are calling for order
The system's failing
The common man
[Verse 2]
When crimes are showing
Even on TV
You can beat the system
Just ask Smith Kennedy, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
A senator with an evil past
Can tip the scales
If you've got the cash
The dollar beats the crime
[Chorus]
The system's failing
Justice is burning
The people are calling for order
The system's failing
The common man
[Bridge]
The system's failing

You're gone
You're gone
[Pre-Chorus]
"Paranoia," says the government
Is the only source
Of our discontent
[Chorus]
The system's failing
Justice is burning
The people are calling for order
The system's failing
The common man
[Outro]
The system's failing
Justice is burning
The people are calling for order
The system's failing
