Does This System Work
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.
Men and women young and old
Out on the streets homeless
Does the system, does the system, does this system work
In plastic bags they carry their homes
Clothes in rags they walk the streets
Does the system, does the system, does this system work
Men and women young and old
Out on the streets homeless
Does the system, does the system, does this system work
In bins they search for the odd dog end
The odd dog end and food
Does the system, does the system, does this system work
