The System Lyrics
you never heard a word your father said
until he said goodbye
and now you walk these streets in agony
just looking for the reason why
you try to tell me that you've played it safe, lain in wait
looking for your reason to shine
and all this talk about intensity your destiny
you're telling me you're going to be just fine
i want to believe you, but it's too late
you say you're going to prove yourself right
say you won't go down without a fight
you don't know how "the system" is going to let you live
but words alone almost always mean nothing
the look in your eyes, i know that you're bluffing
truth be known, i think you never had the will to give
waste away your life, no motivation now
but now i've learned to walk away
and let you go your separate way
before you drag me down
and in between your tears you scream and shout,
"you're selling out
the water is overhead, but i won't drown"
i want to believe you, but it's too late
until he said goodbye
and now you walk these streets in agony
just looking for the reason why
you try to tell me that you've played it safe, lain in wait
looking for your reason to shine
and all this talk about intensity your destiny
you're telling me you're going to be just fine
i want to believe you, but it's too late
you say you're going to prove yourself right
say you won't go down without a fight
you don't know how "the system" is going to let you live
but words alone almost always mean nothing
the look in your eyes, i know that you're bluffing
truth be known, i think you never had the will to give
waste away your life, no motivation now
but now i've learned to walk away
and let you go your separate way
before you drag me down
and in between your tears you scream and shout,
"you're selling out
the water is overhead, but i won't drown"
i want to believe you, but it's too late
