¡MAYDAY!, Common Kings - System lyrics
[¡MAYDAY!, Common Kings - System lyrics]
Downtown after-hours
That’s when I be after ours
That’s when I zone out
And crumble purple flowers
That’s when I think back to
All the close encounters
Back when all we had was
Nothing that was ours downtown after-hours
Hundred-thousand miles per hour
That’s when we would dream
About escaping town
That’s when we would try to find an exit out
Back when we would pass it
Left and burn it out downtown making sounds
Wonder where you’ve been living now
Every time I think back from REX
Tell me where you’ve been
Tell me where you’re going to be at
Was it real or was it fake?
Was it chance or was it fate?
Were we friends or just a phase?
I’m just trying to understand your ways
Dime machines and fantasies
Ain’t giving me no peace of mind
I’m trying to find myself trying to
Get a small piece of mine
But if I hit rewind you’re still on my mind
I guess it’s just an imprint
That you left behind
Go ‘head get that out of your system
(G-g-g-get out) out of your system
(G-g-g-get that out) out of your system
(G-g-g-get it out) get it out
Get that kick that out of your system
(G-g-g-get out) out of your system
(G-g-g-get out) out of your system
(G-g-g-get it out) get it out
Keep your head above the water
Keep your head above the waves
Get it out your system ‘bout
To see a better day go and get it out
Better off back turned to the accolades
Face down in the mud
Better to take turns with a hand grenade
Than to finally get that love
I’ve been a pessimistic misfit
So negative sadistic
That are better with the misfit's up
In the trees and getting lifted
But I’m low down
Picking up things that I cannot control now
Each day I keep it low-brow
And my life is such a showdown so please
Please feel for me these problems
Are my first world
And I can barely spare a second
To realize the cursed world now back it up
Did I just say what I think
I said? I’m acting up i’m living life
With my family right we got a roof
We stacking up we do just what we want when
We want now isn’t that enough
For us to be appreciative and super
Down to laugh it up? But I am just a being
Suffering the human condition
That thinks the Matrix is too
Perfect and could use resistance
Now every time I feel like I
Am on a useless mission
I snap back on myself to say
Shoot that out your system listen
Go ‘head get that out of your system
(G-g-g-get out) out of your system
(G-g-g-get that out) out of your system
(G-g-g-get it out) get it out
Get that kick that out of your system
(G-g-g-get out) out of your system
(G-g-g-get out) out of your system
(G-g-g-get it out) get it out
Keep your head above the water
Keep your head above the waves
Get it out your system ‘bout
To see a better day go and get it out
Get it out get it out
No matter how you do it
Don’t waste another minute aw yeah
Get it out
That’s when I be after ours
That’s when I zone out
And crumble purple flowers
That’s when I think back to
All the close encounters
Back when all we had was
Nothing that was ours downtown after-hours
Hundred-thousand miles per hour
That’s when we would dream
