The System Songtext
von Favez

I used to be a fighter
Hell, I used to be so good
I used to know my way around
The whole damn neighborhood
We′d come at night and paint the town
We called it Grim Repair
We'd spray our words of signature
Our slogans of despair

We′re blinded by the world we made
And we're blinded by your light
Oh, fuck the system and fuck the man
In everything I've done


I went to school, I caught up quick
I learned my lesson right
I thought it might be easy
But they said, "Man, hold on tight"
You′re leaving for the real world
And you boarded right on time
Oh, check out all the options
And then be all that you can

I was blinded by the world I′d made
I was blinded by the light
Oh, fuck the system and fuck the man
In everything I've done

I used to be a fighter
And I swear that I was good

Oh, fuck the system and fuck the man
In everything I′ve done
Oh, fuck the system and fuck the man
In all that I've become

I′ve come across the minefield
Now I hardly know my name
It's easier to fade away
You learn to hide the shame
It′s easier to fade away
You learn to hide the shame
