Lyrics
Verse 1:
Hey Mr. Johnson if you don't mind
Could you share a little of your story line
Why all the patches and the cheap old wine
Why did I see you in the news
Chorus:
You say you got a system, yeah, and it don't mind if you walk by
You got a picture in your pocket it will make me cry
And you know your way in your world and I know mine
You got a system
Verse 2:
Tell me Mr. Johnson who you've been talking to now
Tell me Mr. "Stealer" who've been walking from now
Chorus:
Bridge (Instrumental) Chant "You've got a System"
Verse 1:
Chorus and repeat.
