Smash The System
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I think I'm in love
All fleet footed and fancy free
I've grown up tough
But all the losers seem to worship me
I don't belong here in your garden
I should be up there on your throne
To smash the system, smash the system
Smash the system, smash the system
I know I should play our game
But I don't deal with crooks
I'll tell you lies, smash the system
And then burn the books
I don't belong here in your garden
I should be up there on your throne
Smash the system, smash the system
Smash the system
Smash the system, smash the system
Smash the system
I didn't mean to, I didn't mean to say goodbye
I know I should play our game
But I don't deal with crooks
I'll tell you lies, smash the system
And then burn the books
If this is love why then is it that we can't agree?
You're not so tough
And all the losers still believe in me
I don't belong here in your garden
I should be up there on your throne
I don't belong here in your garden
I should be up there on your throne
Smash the system
Smash the system
Smash the system
Smash the system
Smash the system
Smash the system
