Story Behind The Song

Woke up one morning and read the paper and by the time I was done I was mad at the world. so many things going on that are just wrong

Song Description

Rape, murder, kidnapping, etc. These things are going on every day, and so many times you see someone get away with it or get away with a slap on the wrist. The poor man gets burned and the rich man gets away. The system all comes down to money. Judges, lawyers, police, not all but some get filthy rich by abusing the system, and not using it in the way it was set up. You have some that are honest, but there are that many more that just want the money. We could change the system if we all got together, but that will never happen because there are to many that are scared.

Lyrics

THE SYSTEM

THE WORLD IS IN DISCGRACE, IT?S NOT A LIVING PLACE
THERE?S JUST A LOT OF HATE, PEOPLE GETTING RAPED
PEOPLE GETTING KILLED, MABE JUST FOR THRILLS
KILLERS ON THE RUN, HAVING ALL THEIR FUN
AND THE SYSTEM LETS IT GO

I DON?T WANT TO KNOW
I DON?T WANT TO SEE, I DON?T WANT TO KNOW
I DON?T WANT TO BE, LIVING IN A WORLD
WHERE EVERYBODY HATES, LIVING IN A WORLD
THAT SEEMS SO OUT OF PLACE

SENDING KIDS OVERSEAS, COMING BACK DECEASED
MIGHT BE YOURS AND MINE, THAY SAY THAT?S JUST FINE
IT?S JUST ANOTHER WAR, WE?RE TRYING TO SAVE THE POOR
TRYING TO DO WHATS RIGHT, MAKING US GO AND FIGHT
AND THE SYSTEM LETS IT GO

CHORUS

LEAD

POLITICIANS ARE CORRUPT, LAWYERS ARE UNJUST
JUDGES SET THE BENCH, BOTH SIDES OF THE FENCE
KNOWING THAT IT?S WRONG, LIVING IN THEIR STENCH
EVERYONES GETTING RICH AT SOMEONE ELSES EXPENSE
AND THE SYSTEM LETS IT GO

CHORUS

BUT WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO, IT?S ONLY ME AND YOU
WE DON?T HAVE THE RIGHT, TO PUT UP ANY FIGHT
WE DON?T HAVE THE SAY, JUST LIVE OUT EVERY DAY
I SAY THAT?S ALL WRONG, IN NUMBERS WE?RE ALL STRONG
AND THE SYSTEM LETS IT GO

CHORUS
WE ARE THE SYSTEM, AND WE DON?T HAVE TO LET IT GO
