Shock to the System


What's wrong with the world today? Did we burn down Wall St. again?
What's wrong with the world today? Who did we kill? Who were we meant to maim?

Cos we've got so many friends but we don’t understand their aims, so we, we feel we have to be their ends.
That's why we're all at war. Yeah we feel the threat, but we don’t understand the cure.

When're we going to learn to live, when're we going to learn to die? When are we going to find the courage to look them in the eye? When're we going to stand and fight? When're we going to do what's right? For all we know and love for God above why don't we protest?

Since times have gotten rough, turns out an extra million wasn't enough.
But we've got so much to lose so we'll spend it all on booze but we, if we can still afford the cruise, it looks like we lit the fuse.

When're we going to learn to live, when're we going to learn to die? When are we going to find the courage to look them in the eye? When're we going to stand and fight? When're we going to do what's right? For all we know and love for God above why don't we protest?

Don't let them put you down, don’t let them push you around.
Don't let them feel as strong as everybody makes them out to be.
Don't let them make you feel like you are just one man.
Our heads and hearts out price their bodies in every single way they can.

When're we going to learn to live, when're we going to learn to die? When are we going to find the courage to look them in the eye? When're we going to stand and fight? When're we going to do what's right? For all we know and love for God above why don't we protest?

When're we going to learn to live, when're we going to learn to die? When are we going to find the courage to look them in the eye? When're we going to stand and fight? When're we going to do what's right? For all we know and love for God above why don't we protest?

Protest...
