System Failed Us... Again

[Intro/Chorus] Whoa... oh... oh... The system failed us again Whoa... oh... oh... The system failed us again [Verse 1] Factory layoff, welfare checks Who's to blame for the state we're in? The system failed us Government housing, concentration camps Ghetto barriers separate each class The system failed us [Chorus] Whoa... oh... oh... The system failed us again Whoa... oh... oh... The system failed us again [Verse 2] We've been pushed down into extinction Talking about the infirmed, the elderly Families can't afford health insurance Have to choose—groceries to eat or medicine to live [Verse 3] Native cultures, praise the old Through experience, they've seen it all The system failed us There's a power in control Making sure they won't teach the young The system failed us [Chorus] Whoa... oh... oh... The system failed us again Whoa... oh... oh... The system failed us again [Verse 4] At charity care, they treat you like shit They've got jobs, so they don't care So you must bow like a slave Your future depends on the decisions they make [Refrain] The system failed us The system failed us The system failed us... [Bridge] See benefits being taken away From the people whose money you take The system failed us Perhaps they know a little too much Get rid of them before they talk The system failed us [Chorus] Whoa... oh... oh... The system failed us again Whoa... oh... oh... The system failed us again [Outro] The system failed us The system failed us The system failed us
