music and lyrics by Dave Carlo
I fight the system 'cause I'm offended
Know what it means to be a pawn
Manipulated beyond all reason
You can't decide what's right or wrong
Absorb the pressure. avoid the pain
See the factory. it's just a prison
Life sentence just so you can eat
You're just a number, they'll sacrifice you
Replace you with a new machine
You think they're loyal. you think they care
You think you'll never lose your job
You're just a sucker, if you don't wake up
One day you'll find out that you're gone
What are we doing. creating a system
Resulting in meaningless lives?
Instead of improving. we're always abusing
Too selfish to ever be wise
Busting our butts in a rush to get nowhere
Just look what we're leaving behind
A trail of destruction, self-centred obstruction
It's time to start using our minds
Fight the system. lose the pain
