Lyrics
Beat 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.
Caught in the undertow being swept down stream
Going against the flow seems like such a dream
Trying to hold your ground when you star to slide
Pressure to compromise comes from every side
Wise up Rise up
You can be more than a conqueror, you will never face defeat
You can dare to win by losing all, you can face the heat- dare to
Beat the system
On the assembly line trying to break the mold
Time to throw the wrench that will stop
it cold
Going against the odds being the underdog
Dare to wield the sword that will slice the fog
You can go for it all
You can go for broke
You can turn the tide around
You can aim for the top
And take the lion´s share
If you dare to hold your ground.
