Tom MacDonald - The System lyrics

Welcome to the world, baby boy
I'll paint you red and white and blue
The indoctrination starts as soon as
You come out the womb
Pretty quick we'll make you stupid
With curriculums at school
And if the classroom doesn't do the trick
We'll make you watch the news
Pick your team, right or left
Pick the red pill or the blue
You can vote, but even if you win
Still everyone will lose
Don't forget to buy designer because
Gucci makes you cool
We prioritize material belongings over truth
Get a job that you can't stand so
You can buy some cancer food
Go overseas and die for freedom
There's some oil we could use
Our democracy exists so that you
Think that you could choose


But our algorithms make you do what
We want you to do what's the problem
You're depressed? Society has you confused?
We got medication for you
That you'll probably abuse
Go get married to a lady who
Also don't have a clue
And pump out a few babies that
Are just the same as you

Welcome to the system, everyone's a victim
Doesn't matter if you're black or white
It hates you all
Here inside the system, violence is a symptom
Fighting for what's right
But somehow everyone is wrong
Welcome to the system, everyone's a victim
Doesn't matter if you're black or white
It hates you all
Here inside the system, violence is a symptom
Fighting for what's right
But somehow everyone is wrong

Welcome to the world, baby girl
I'll paint you pink if that's okay
We'll encourage self-destruction through the
Music that you play
We divided all the men by
Tryin' politics and race
And honestly, it's workin' awesome
So for you we'll do the same
Never teachin' you to love yourself
Inject you full of hate
Objectify your sexuality then blame
You for the rape
And weaponize the differences that make
Our men and women great
And just to screw with
You, erase the genders, everyone's the same
We'll empower you with rights to vote
And fight for equal pay
Then have the men turn into women
And you'll fight for them again
But you thought you had it figured out
But everything has changed
Welcome to the system, bitch
Please enjoy your stay
Here's a Bible and a bottle of
The cheapest booze we make
Find a man who can take care of
You to fill the holes we made
Buy a house and settle
Down, fulfill your duty, procreate
And make a couple babies who
Will also do the same

Welcome to the system, everyone's a victim
Doesn't matter if you're black or white
It hates you all
Here inside the system, violence is a symptom
Fighting for what's right
But somehow everyone is wrong
Welcome to the system, everyone's a victim
Doesn't matter if you're black or white
It hates you all
Here inside the system, violence is a symptom
Fighting for what's right
But somehow everyone is wrong

Welcome to the world, everybody
I'ma paint you black and white
I'ma make you hate each other
So that everyone will fight
I'ma give you all religion
Let the righteous find the light
But I will also give you science
To oppose the Word of Christ
And I'ma give you borders
They're imaginary lines if you cross them
Go to war and win when everybody dies
And I'ma give you money that
You'll value more than life
And let the one percent have everything
While you fight to survive
And then I'll give you politics
I'll call it left and right
And while you divide yourselves
I will conquer both the sides
Can't you see? I'm the system
My whole purpose is divide
What you choose will never matter
Because everything is mine

Welcome to the system, everyone's a victim
Doesn't matter if you're black or white
It hates you all
Here inside the system, violence is a symptom
Fighting for what's right
But somehow everyone is wrong
Welcome to the system, everyone's a victim
Doesn't matter if you're black or white
It hates you all
Here inside the system, violence is a symptom
Fighting for what's right
But somehow everyone is wrong
Welcome to the system, everyone's a victim
Doesn't matter if you're black or white
It hates you all
Here inside the system, violence is a symptom
Fighting for what's right
But somehow everyone is wrong
