The System Fucks You Up

We’re great, we’re rich, we’re big, we’re tall
why don’t I recognize at all
why do I feel like a machine
12 hours a day
slaving my life away
for dough I’ve never seen.

For a so-called democracy
that wages war
to lose once more.
it’s the ultimate hypocracy
we’re increasing the income of the arms industry
The street is the place where we should be
standing now
anyhow
in any way
every day

cause this system fucks you up
but we’re strong and we can stop.
cause this system fucks you up
but we’re strong and we can stop.
get up, get on your feet
stand up get on the street

When the brigades invade your town,
be prepared, they’ll shoot you down
they’ll take your home
just like your income
they’ll interrogate your wife
just like they(‘ve) done your whole life
they’ll torture your friend
and your friends friend, you’ ll see
just like they torture
an enemy
of the domination
of the industry

cause they fuck the system up
but we’re strong and we can stop.
cause they fuck the system up
but we’re strong and we can stop.
wake up, get on your feet
stand up get on the street

The fight we fight against eachother
keeps you from thinking, sister and brother.
But keep in mind what’s written down
and take it to the walls in town.

The dignity of man is irrefutable

(lyrics by Johnny Weltraum and Andy Graham)
