Lyrics

THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN:
The system is broken
I see it all around
High Rises go up and they're full of the rich
While others must sleep on cold ground

The system is broken
I see it every day
Some people struggle to keep food on the table,
While others just gamble their pay.

The system is broken
Do I need to shout?
We seem to have built it with concrete and stone
But we need to find a way out
So I'll shout. Do I need to shout?!
This system is broken!!

Cause I think our time is running out

The Clock is now ticking
Hands move further each day
The have's and have nots are not just movie plots
The disparity grows every day

The system is broken
Do I need to shout?
We seem to have built it with concrete and stone
But we need to find a way out
So I'll shout. Do I need to shout?!
This system is broken!!

Cause I think our time is running out
