Beat The System

about

I always seem to be going in a different direction to the masses. It probably comes from my time working in a print factory having to do what I was told. Individuality has taken a bit of a kicking in recent years. It's only acceptable if you look, dress and act the same. Standing against the "System" is near impossible but that is where I found myself. Nowadays I prefer to think I am outside of competitiveness and inside creativity. Wanna jump on board?

lyrics

Beat The System – Keith Thompson

Machinery turning and the wheels go round and round
It’s hard to notice if you’re up or if you’re down
I’m getting tired of doing what I’m told
I’ve got to change my life before I get too old
All my words how you twist ‘em
I’m gonna beat the system

Can’t go anywhere without being seen
I have to buy just what I see on the screen
The radio tells me what music I should play
But from all your trash I can’t seem to get away
All your ways I must resist ‘em
Gonna beat the system

Everybody does it, that’s what they say
No-one will notice if you do it again
But don’t think I haven’t seen through your game
Well I don’t want to be the same
Gonna beat the system
