Defiance - Does This System Work lyrics

rate me

It's out of the ashes and into the dust

Why are you fools so fucking eager to trust?

The same fucking scum that bribe you with wages

As they've done from the start

As they will through the ages

[Chorus]

If there's liberity freedom and justic for all

They why do we suffer and why do we fall?

When the rich fucking scum's greed won't cease to persist

While we slave and we toil

Just barely exist

If there laws are set up to serve and protect

Why the fuck is there so much famine and death?

Why do innocent die while the scum still stay in power?

While we waste our whole lives protecting these cowards

If it all works so well and they are striving for peace

Why is there torture and war, greed and death?

While we work and we toil till our last dying breath

And you're so fucking happy

Living under the gun

While you slave and tou toil

They have their day in the sun

If their wars preserve freedom for one and for all

Then why don't they die on their own battelfields?

Does this system work?
