Song Lyrics

The night is closing in on another day
A moment's peace some time to sleep my dreams away
But not enough to hide from the truth
'Cause the system's gonna get you
Come what may
Sooner or later it's gonna find a way
You're gone see, there's no escape
From the system

A-a-a-ah a-a-ah
A-a-a-ah a-a-ah

Try as you do you're just not getting through
Makes no difference what you try to do
You won't be satisfied you'll have frustration at your side
'Cause the system's gonna get you
Come what may
Sooner or later it's gonna find a way
You're gonna see, there's no escape
From the system

Put it to the test, to hell with the rest
Make your deal with the devil
You'll find it hard to stay alive
Just to survive

A-a-a-ah a-a-ah
A-a-a-ah a-a-ah
A-a-a-ah a-a-ah
A-a-a-ah a-a-ah

Put it to the test, to hell with the rest
Make your deal with the devil
You'll find it hard to stay alive
Just to survive

A-a-a-ah a-a-ah
It's the system...
