[Originally by Far]
Couldn't have done any better
Couldn't have prayed for sin to be over
Praying to nothing, praying to know,
but you will never know.
I won't say it, I won't say it
I won't say what I don't know
I never had any problem,
to recognize it or a marble,
You're a beautiful liar,
You're never inspired,
You know when it's over it's over.
I won't say it, I won't say it
I won't say what I don't know
I won't say it, I say nothing
I know nothing, I do nothing
Nothing
The System!
