The System

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
Try as you do
You’re just not getting thru'
Makes no difference
What you try to do
You won’t be satisfied you’ll have
Frustration at your side
Put it to the test
To hell with the rest
Make your deal with th devil
You’ll find it hard to stay alive
Just to survive
It’s th system
