Tom MacDonald - "The System"

Welcome to the world, baby boy, I'll paint you red and white and blue The indoctrination starts as soon as you come out the womb Pretty quick we'll make you stupid with curriculums at school And if the classroom doesn't do the trick, we'll make you watch the news

Pick your team, right or left, pick the red pill or the blue You can vote, but even if you win, still everyone will lose Don't forget to buy designer because Gucci makes you cool We prioritize material belongings over truth

Get a job that you can't stand so you can buy some cans of food Go overseas and die for freedom, there's some oil we could use Our democracy exists so that you think that you could choose But our algorithms make you do what we want you to do

What's the problem, you're depressed? Society has you confused? We got medication for you that you'll probably abuse Go get married to a lady who also don't have a clue And pump out a few babies that are just the same as you

Welcome to the system, everyone's a victim Doesn't matter if you're black or white, it hates you all Here inside the system, violence is a symptom Fighting for what's right, but somehow everyone is wrong

Welcome to the system, everyone's a victim Doesn't matter if you're black or white, it hates you all Here inside the system, violence is a symptom Fighting for what's right, but somehow everyone is wrong

Welcome to the world, baby girl, I'll paint you pink if that's okay We'll encourage self-destruction through the music that you play We divided all the men by tryin' politics and race And honestly, it's workin' awesome, so for you, we'll do the same

Never teachin' you to love yourself, inject you full of hate Objectify your sexuality then blame you for the rape And weaponize the differences that make our men and women great And just to screw with you, erase the genders, everyone's the same

We'll empower you with rights to vote and fight for equal pay Then have the men turn into women and you'll fight for them again But you thought you had it figured out, but everything has changed Welcome to the system bitch, please enjoy your stay

Here's a Bible and a bottle of the cheapest booze we make Find a man who can take care of you to fill the holes we made Buy a house and settle down, fulfill your duty, procreate And make a couple babies who will also do the same

Welcome to the system, everyone's a victim Doesn't matter if you're black or white, it hates you all Here inside the system, violence is a symptom Fighting for what's right, but somehow everyone is wrong

Welcome to the world, everybody, I'ma paint you black and white I'ma make you hate each other so that everyone will fight I'ma give you all religion, let the righteous find the light But I will also give you science to oppose the Word of Christ

And I'ma give you borders, they're imaginary lines If you cross them, go to war and win when everybody dies And I'ma give you money that you'll value more than life And let the one percent have everything while you fight to survive

And then I'll give you politics, I'll call it left and right And while you divide yourselves, I will conquer both the sides Can't you see? I'm the system, my whole purpose is divide What you choose will never matter because everything is mine

Welcome to the system, everyone's a victim Doesn't matter if you're black or white, it hates you all Here inside the system, violence is a symptom Fighting for what's right, but somehow everyone is wrong
