I fight the system 'cause I'm offended Know what it means to be a pawn Manipulated beyond all reason You can't decide what's right or wrong Absorb the pressure. avoid the pain See the factory. it's just a prison Life sentence just so you can eat You're just a number, they'll sacrifice you Replace you with a new machine You think they're loyal. you think they care You think you'll never lose your job You're just a sucker, if you don't wake up One day you'll find out that you're gone What are we doing. creating a system Resulting in meaningless lives? Instead of improving. we're always abusing Too selfish to ever be wise Busting our butts in a rush to get nowhere Just look what we're leaving behind A trail of destruction, self-centred obstruction It's time to start using our minds Fight the system. lose the pain Lacking in courage. afraid of the future Pretending that everything's fine How will it feel when you're forty years old And you're dumped from the factory line Plan your escape 'cause it's certain to happen The day when you're through is at hand Sucker for punishment, here is your warning Be ready before you get canned Fight the system. lose the poin Feel the pressure, this life's insane
