Their system doesn't work for you

One day while sitting 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!!!
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
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 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 bitch to me
To fucking get a job,
When you don´t like
That life you´ve got
You fucking corporate whore
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 their corporate army
Don´t have to choose
To join their corporate army
Dont have to choose, don´t have to choose
To join their corporate army
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!!!
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
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 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 bitch to me
To fucking get a job,
When you don´t like
That life you´ve got
You fucking corporate whore
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 their corporate army
Don´t have to choose
To join their corporate army
Dont have to choose, don´t have to choose
To join their corporate army
