THE SYSTEM
(Lyrics: Saunders, Carrier / Music: Saunders, Carrier)
Jerry Garcia & Merl Saunders
Who will you murder
For democracy
Who's next to be slain
People wait to be
Sucked up
By your genocide campaign
Murdered for
Technology
Natural resources too
While earth faces extinction
Guess what?
They say prayers on the moon
Chorus
I'm talkin', talkin' about the system (system)
Said I'm talkin', talkin' about the system (system)
I said the funky, funky system (system)
I said the funky, funky system(system)
Who will you murder
For democracy
Who's next to be slain
People wait to be
Sucked up
By your genocide campaign
No sociology
Equality of life
We'll only save ourselves
By lessening human strife
Feel the system
Stalk the land
And with death goes
Hand in hand
(chorus)
Who will you murder
For democracy
Who's next to be slain
People wait to be
Sucked up
By your genocide campaign
No sociology
Equality of life
We'll only save ourselves
By lessening human strife
So the system
Stalks the land
And with death goes
Hand in hand
(chorus)
Said the system, yeah
The funky, funky system (system)
The funky, funky system (system)
The funky, funky system (system)
(etc)
