“The System” by The Black Pacific

What's all this suction?
Yeah, we're the lucky ones
We suck the corporate dime

Cause you can take it -
Don't mean you're getting it
Follow the thin white line

So what's the use if you got your freedom
If you don't have shit in your life?
It's our compulsion - more fun for everyone
Just go to give it some time

I'm just a product part of the machinery
A pawn in God's electrical dream
I thought I was using the system
But the system was using me

[(Yeah, yeah)]

You can't escape it - just go along with it
You're born you work and you die
Just one more idiot - who's rendered meaningless
And there's an endless supply

So hang loose in your necktie noose man
And fight for the scraps you can get
Until they erase you
They're coming after you
'Til you give up and give in

I'm just a product part of the machinery
A pawn in God's electrical dream
I thought I was using the system
But the system was using me

[(Yeah, yeah)]

I'm just a product part of the machinery
A pawn in God's electrical dream
I thought I was using the system
But the system was using...

I'm just a product part of the machinery
A pawn in God's electrical dream
I thought I was using the system
But the system was using me

[(Yeah, yeahYeah, yeah)]
