Lyrics
FUNKY SYSTEM
WE ALL LIVE IN A FUNKY SYSTEM...
We all live in this world we live in.
We give it up, but won't give in.
Can't believe all the things you hear,
And only half of what you see.
We won't say yes to the man who tells us no.
Can't let the fool run the whole damn show.
We are the strong.
We will survive.
People, you better believe
We can change the funky system.
Funky system.
They tax our dreams, but can't take our spirit.
The game is up and we're not gonna play it.
Stand together, we gotta come together.
Can't you see, you and me
Together, forever.
We can change the funky system.
