Composers: Adan Schlesinger Genre: Musical Producer: Nick Konstantinidis Hit Trax: www.MIDI.COM.AU ===============================
You can't beat the system (You can't beat the system) No, you can't beat the system (You can't beat the system)
They chain ya, detain ya, restrict ya and restrain ya They rented special shackles from the state of Pennsylvania Don't bother with the facts because they're always gonna twist 'em No matter what you do you know you can't beat the system
Life is a trumped up charge Life is a trumped up charge! I'm just another sap Too dumb to beat their rap The one way I'm a felon Is I fell into their trap The world's the one that did it But the world is still at large Life is a trumped up charge
We didn't set no fire I said, we didn't set no fire! Let me briefly state my case I was busy sucking face I was going for a triple but got stuck at second base I was over at the quarry swinging naked from a tire We didn't set no fire
Love is his alibi I said, love is his alibi! I can place him at my scene If you know what I mean He was with me from approximately six to twelve fifteen If you call me as a witness I will gladly testify Love is his alibi
They'll nail ya, they'll jail ya, They'll say that you're a failure
We certainly appear to have you by the genitalia!
They'll charge you with resistance even if you don't resist 'em No matter what you do you know You can't beat the system! (You can't beat the system) No you can't beat the system! (no, no, no, no, no, no, no) You'll mock it, you'll knock it, You'll kick and shake and shock it
How dare you come before this court and desecrate my docket! But there will soon be justice here 'cause you're about to see You're looking at the system And you can't beat me.
