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