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.
Someday, evermore
Someday, evermore
Someday, evermore
Someday, evermore
Son, you better go for it
Harmony
Dissatisfaction
In a pocket
Full of lies
Cause I guess that's what they want
Son, your father's known for it
Misery
Can you read my lips
Cause this is my way of breaking ties
Is it true that's what you want
We know this color coating can't be right
When the only truth is that we don't sleep at night
Can it feel real
We're just trying to beat the system
But it's hard from a distance
We keep falling for the system
So it's time for a new better way
We're just trying to beat the system
And it's time for a new better way
Lie
Now your people need to get high
Everybody needs a little sunshine
From a blood red sky
Cause that's just what they want
We know this color coating can't be right
When the only truth is that we don't sleep at night
Can it feel real
We're just trying to beat the system
But it's hard from a distance
We keep falling from the system
So it's time for a new better way
We're just trying to beat the system
But it's hard from a distance
We keep falling from system
So it's time for a new better way
We're just trying to be the system
But it's hard from a distance
We keep falling from the system
So it's time for a new better way
Better way
Better way
Better way
Better way
Someday, evermore
Someday, evermore
Someday, evermore
Someday, evermore
