The System Songtext
von Ken Hensley

The night is closing in on another day
A moment′s peace, some time to sleep my dreams away
But not enough to hide from the truth

'Cause the system′s gonna get you, come what may
Sooner or later, it's gonna find a way
You're gonna see there′s no escape
From the system
Oh, ah, ah

Try as you do, you′re just not getting through
Makes no difference what you try to do
You won't be satisfied, you′ll have frustration at your side

'Cause the system′s gonna get you, come what may
Sooner or later, it's gonna find a way
You′re gonna see there's no escape
From the system


Put it to the test, to hell with the rest
Make your deal with the devil
You'll find it hard to stay alive
Just to survive
Ah, ah, ah, ah

Put it to the test, to hell with the rest
Make your deal with the devil
You′ll find it hard to stay alive
Just to survive
Ah, ah, ah, ah (It′s the system)
Ah, ah, ah, ah (It's the system)
Ah, ah, ah, ah (It′s the system)
Ah, ah, ah, ah (It's the system)
Ah, ah, ah, ah (It′s the system)
Ah, ah, ah, ah (It's the system)
Ah, ah, ah, ah (It′s the system)
Ah, ah, ah, ah (It's the system)
