Lyrics
Nervous 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.
Everybody's looking for a life, looking for a way, no escape
Beat the other man, get your money, get your car, it`s a bit of a joke
You`re walking down the streets, you see the face, you see the instinct, start picking it up
Everybody`s looking for a life to be described, no chance
Nervous system - I don`t like it...
I`m getting out of this system
You better do what they say, better live life the way of an average man
Be yourself, get your car, do what you want, that's funny
Gonna get me all the portion you consigned for your perfect man
We know how you do it, how you do it, mind psychology
Nervous system - I don't like it...
I'm getting out of this system
Every year I go on holiday, every day I do the routine
9 'Till 5, 9 'till 5, live around the clock cause they tell me
9 'Till 5, 9 'till 5, live around the clock cause they tell ya
Everybody`s looking for a life, looking for a wife, no escape
Beat the other man, get your money get your car, it`s a bit of a joke
You`re walking down the streets, you see the face, you see the instinct, start picking it up
Everybody's looking for a life to be described, no chance
Nervous system - I don`t like it...
I`m getting out of this system
