The System Songtext
von Noah Harrington

How can I stand so rest assured
With all that′s happening in the world
That times are gonna get better again
Just because you changed the man at the helm?

There's every battle still left to fight
But all the people don′t know what's right
They seem to turn a blind eye
But they just don't know that it′s a lie all the time
Why don′t we all take the chance to try?

It's time to play ′em all at their game (at their game)
If they're winning, why can′t we do the same? (do the same)
Although they beat us while we're down,
That can′t stop us from turning it 'round
So we've gotta make sure we′re being loud

But it′s hard to not think about the risk
Of devoting all to not dent an inch
What if you've got to throw it all away?
You didn′t get the chance to save the day today
Either way, it will still be this way


So we've got to play ′em all at their game (at their game)
If they're winning, why can′t we do the same? (do the same)
Although they're standing 'top a mound
That can′t stop us from bringing ′em down
So we've got to make sure we′re being loud

So you think they're just gonna come around?
Let the people go that they′ve crowned?
Relinquish the system that's working so sound?
That′s not the way it's gonna be

So we've got to step it all up ourselves
Show them we′re not another thing on the shelf
And if we′ve really got a dime,
We can stop them from committing crimes all the time
It's time to break outside the sty

So let us play ′em all at their game (at their game)
If they're winning, why can′t we do the same? (do the same, do the same)
With all the heartaches we share,
Why should we even dare to let them
Show us once more why we care?

Na na na, na na na na, na na
Na na na, na na na na, na na
Although they beat us while we're down,
That can′t stop us from turning it 'round
So we've got to make sure we′re being loud
