The night is closing in on another day
A moment’s peace some time
To sleep my dreams away
But not enough to hide from the truth

‘Cause the system’s gonna get you
Come what may
Sooner or later it’s gonna find a way
You’re gonna see, there’s no escape
From the system

Try as you do
You’re just not getting thru’
Makes no difference what you try to do
You won’t be satisfied you’ll have
Frustration at your side

Put it to the test, to hell with the rest
Make your deal with the devil
You’ll find it hard to stay alive
Just to survive

It’s the system
