The System - Tyrants in Therapy

He was tall, she was young

They were hard working, God fearing Christians

And they did everything that a couple could do just to fit in

But when Detroit hit the tubes

They came begging for food at the Midnight Mission

But they got turned away

They say comeback the next day

Must be The System

You can get yourself a car and a home

In a rundown subdivision

You can suck up some brews

And blame the Catholics, Blacks, and Jews

For what you’re missing

You can get caught in the rut of just sitting on your butt smoking and bitching

Just a loser in the roll of the dice that they call The System

Yeah wherever you go it’s the same old polarization

The rich are getting rich and the people getting screwed around the Nation

Well sister kissed a Prince and he turned into a dog

We’re all in the same boat

And it’s heading for the fog

Must be The System Yeah must be The System

Sometimes it seems that Life is nothing but a prison

Don’t take a genius to know it’s just the human condition

Now you can act real meek and turn the other cheek and ask permission

Or you can fight fight fight with all your might to beat the system

OUTRO

You gotta fight fight fight with all your might to beat the System

To beat The System

Yeah to beat The System
