The System Songtext
von Michael Franti & Spearhead

Look at the world outside your phone
Look at the world outside and know you′re not alone

Oh, oh
Don't let the system get you down (hey)
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Don′t let the system get ya down (hey)

Look at your friends they understand
Just like your neighbors do so maybe lend a hand

Oh, oh
Don't let the system get you down (hey)
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Don't let the system get ya down (hey)

Well, they tryna mess around with me and you
Dividing us between the red and blue
Nations, race, religion politicians use


But fuck em if that′s what they tryna do
That′s what they tryna do
That's what they tryna do

Don′t let the system get ya down (hey, hey)
Look at the world standing tall
Climbing mountains rising even when we fall

Oh, oh
Don't let the system get you down (hey)
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Don′t let the system get ya down (hey)

Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Don't let the system get ya down (hey)
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Don′t let the system get ya down

(Hey) get ya down
Don't let the fuckin' system get you down
