[00:10.26] System, system, system, death in life

[00:14.24] System, system, system, the surgeon's knife

[00:18.49] System, system, system, hacking at the cord

[00:22.74] System, system, system, a child is born

[00:26.47] Poor little fucker, poor little kid

[00:28.86] Never asked for life, no, she never did

[00:30.98] Poor little baby, poor little mite

[00:33.09] Crying out for food as her parents fight

[00:35.23] Crying out for food as her parents fight

[00:39.20] System, system, system, send him to school

[00:43.73] System, system, system, force him to crawl

[00:47.98] System, system, system, teach him how to cheat

[00:52.51] System, system, system, kick him off his feet

[00:56.49] Poor little schoolboy, poor little lad

[00:58.88] They'll pet him if he's good, and they'll beat him if he's bad

[01:01.00] Poor little kiddy, poor little chap

[01:03.13] They'll force-feed his mind with their useless crap

[01:05.26] Force-feed his mind with their useless crap

[01:08.97] System, system, system, they'll teach her how to cook

[01:13.49] System, system, system, teach her how to look

[01:17.74] System, system, system, they'll teach her all the tricks

[01:22.24] System, system, system, create another victim for their greasy pricks

[01:26.50] Poor little girly, poor little wench

[01:28.64] Another little object to prod and pinch

[01:30.75] Poor little sweety, poor little filly

[01:32.87] They'll fuck her mind so they can fuck her silly

[01:35.28] Fuck her mind so they can fuck her silly

[01:39.00] System, system, system, he's grown to be a man

[01:43.77] System, system, system, taught to fit the plan

[01:48.01] System, system, system, forty years of jobs

[01:52.55] System, system, system, pushing little buttons, pulling little knobs

[01:56.54] Poor fucking worker, poor little serf

[01:58.93] Working like a mule for half of what he's worth

[02:01.05] Poor fucking grafter, poor little gent

[02:03.16] Working for the cash that he's already spent

[02:05.30] Working for the cash that he's already spent

[02:09.02] He's selling his life - She's his loyal wife

[02:11.40] Timid as a mouse, she's got her little house

[02:13.81] He's got his little car, and they share the cocktail bar

[02:15.93] She likes to cook his meals; you know, something that appeals

[02:18.05] Sometimes, he works 'til late, so his supper has to wait

[02:20.19] But she doesn't really mind, 'cause he's getting overtime

[02:22.03] He likes to put a bit away just for that rainy day

[02:24.44] 'Cause every little counts as the cost of living mounts

[02:26.29] They do the pools each week, hoping for that lucky break

[02:28.43] Then they'd take a trip abroad, do all the things they can't afford

[02:30.82] She'd really like to have a fur, he'd like a bigger car

[02:32.93] They could buy a bungalow, with a Georgian door for show

[02:35.05] He might think of leaving work, but, no, he wouldn't like a shirk

[02:37.17] He'd much prefer to stay and get his honest day's pay

[02:39.31] He's got a life of work ahead; there's no rest for the dead

[02:41.43] And she's tried to make it nice, he's said, "Thank you" once or twice

[03:02.67] System, system, system, deprived of any hope

[03:07.19] System, system, system, taught they couldn't cope (I know)

[03:11.97] System, system, system, slaves right from the start

[03:15.69] System, system, system, 'til death do them part

[03:20.21] Poor little fuckers, what a sorry pair

[03:22.33] Had their lives stolen, but they didn't really care

[03:24.72] Poor little darlings, just your ordinary folks

[03:26.84] Victims of the system and its cruel jokes

[03:28.98] Victims of the system and its cruel jokes

[03:42.25] The couple views the wreckage and dreams of home sweet home

[03:45.70] They'd almost paid the mortgage when the system dropped its bomb
