The System Lyrics

i used to be a figther

hell i used to be so good

i used to know my way

around the whole damn neighbourhood

we'd come at night and paint the town

we called it "grim repair"

we'd spray our words of signature

our slogans of despair



we're blinded by the world we made

and we're blinded by your light

fuck the system

fuck the man

and everything i've done



i went to school

i caught up quick

i learned my lesson right

i thought it might be easy

but they said man hold on tight

you're leaving for the real world

and you boarded right on time

check out all the options

and them be all that you can



i was blinded by the world i'd made

i was blinded by the light

fuck the system

fuck the man

and everthing i've done



i used to be a figther

and i swear that i was good

fuck the system

fuck the man

and everthing i've done

fuck the system

fuck the man

and all that i've become



i've come across the minefield

now i hardly khow my name

it's easier to fade away

you learn to hide the shame



it's easier to fade away

you learn to hide the shame
