Their System Doesn’t Work for You
One day, while sitting in my room
You came preaching, your words predicting doom
You've never once been happy with me
Because I'm not what you want me to be, no
You tried to teach me to pray and go to school
You tried to teach me to be the system's tool
But you missed what I was smart enough to see
That their system doesn't work for you or me
(Whoa-oh), don't believe what they say is true
(Whoa-oh), their system doesn't work for you
(Whoa-oh), you can be what you want to be
(Whoa-oh), don't have to choose to join the corporate army
For God and country give up your life
Don't try to figure out what's wrong or right
You never tried to stop, to look, to see
That you're exactly what you're told to be
You did everything fucking right
You followed the system's guiding light
And now you fucking pushin' me to get a job
When you don't like the life you've got
You fucking corporate whore
(Whoa-oh), don't believe what they say is true
(Whoa-oh), their system doesn't work for you
(Whoa-oh), you can be what you want to be
(Whoa-oh), don't have to choose to join the corporate army (don't, don't, don't, don't)
Don't have to choose to join the corporate army (don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't)
You don't have to, you don't have to, no (don't, don't, don't)
You came preaching, your words predicting doom
You've never once been happy with me
Because I'm not what you want me to be, no
You tried to teach me to pray and go to school
You tried to teach me to be the system's tool
But you missed what I was smart enough to see
That their system doesn't work for you or me
(Whoa-oh), don't believe what they say is true
(Whoa-oh), their system doesn't work for you
(Whoa-oh), you can be what you want to be
(Whoa-oh), don't have to choose to join the corporate army
For God and country give up your life
Don't try to figure out what's wrong or right
You never tried to stop, to look, to see
That you're exactly what you're told to be
You did everything fucking right
You followed the system's guiding light
And now you fucking pushin' me to get a job
When you don't like the life you've got
You fucking corporate whore
(Whoa-oh), don't believe what they say is true
(Whoa-oh), their system doesn't work for you
(Whoa-oh), you can be what you want to be
(Whoa-oh), don't have to choose to join the corporate army (don't, don't, don't, don't)
Don't have to choose to join the corporate army (don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't)
You don't have to, you don't have to, no (don't, don't, don't)
