Verse One
The stories we hear
The things we see
I?m scratchin? my head
Lord, it just can?t be
Turn on the TV
You got men kissin? men
And if that ain?t enough
There?s always some "Ben and Jen"
Bridge
Save me, save me, save me now
Save me, save me, tell me how . . .
Chorus
It?s such a shock . . .
Shock to the System
What a shock . . .
Shock to the System
I'm in shock!
Verse Two
Yes, the times have changed
This much is true
Now if it?s eBay you want
Well, I?ll just have to do
We?re payin? for water
We?re payin for air
And if it wasn?t for TIVO
You just wouldn?t care
Bridge
Change it, change it, change it now
Change it, change it, tell me how . . .
Chorus
It?s such a shock . . .
It's a Shock to the System
What a shock . . .
Shock to the System
Verse Three
What?s left isn?t right
And what?s right is so wrong
If the future is now
You can color me gone
Has the world gone mad?
I?m at a total loss
It?s times like these
I thank God for The Boss (he don?t)
Shock me . . . Shock to the System
Shock me . . . Shock to the System
Shock me . . . It's a Shock to the System
SHOCK ME! Make me feel better (Hey!)
Lead Guitar
Bridge
(let?s) Change it, change it, change it now
Change it, change it, tell me how?
Chorus
It?s such a shock . . .
It's a Shock to the System
What a shock . . .
Shock to the System
(yes, indeed)
It's a shock . . .
Shock to the System
One, two three, what a shock . . .
Shock to the System
Outro
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Yes, I got a little bit o' Shock!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
It's a Shock to the System, mama
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
