Array ( [sid] => 32175 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => the system [time] => 2004-01-20 04:07:02 [hometext] => We live in the system which was created to restrict us from living. (notice the difference in the first and the last verse) [bodytext] => Welcome to the system, your name is John
You are born, will live and die and burn
You'll be caged and made a slave,
You have no choice, you have no say.

You have no rights, you have no power
You are a battery of flesh
You are no more than a head bower
You are no more then living stash

You are a zero, you are nothing
In this system full of rust
Corrosion, corruption, anger
Hatred, misery, lies and lust

The system - is the world we live in
We are imprisoned from the birth
Why can't we all just do a backspin
Destoy the system, save this earth

If you're not scared, follow me,
Destroy this system, let us be
We have the power, can't you see
How beautifull this world can be

If we just cut the rope they tied
We can all live, we'll learn to fly
We will be free, regain our pride.
Come on and rise, take charge and fight
You have the power, you have the right

Epilogue:
Welcome to the world, come choose your name
You are a person, make your day
There are no boundaries, no rules
You're now free, do what you choose.
