Beat the System Lyrics by Petra

Double Take

0

[Intro]
The system, the system, the system, the system, the system
The system

[Verse 1]
Caught in the undertow, being swept downstream
Going against the flow seems like such a dream
Trying to hold your ground when you start to slide
Pressure to compromise comes from every side

[Pre-Chorus]
Wise up, rise up
Wise up, rise up

[Chorus]
You can be more than a conqueror, you will never face defeat (How?)
You can dare to win by losing all, you can face the heat
Dare to beat the system, face the heat
Dare to beat the system (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Wise up, rise up
Wise up, rise up

[Chorus]
You can be more than a conqueror, you will never face defeat (How?)
You can dare to win by losing all, you can face the heat
Dare to beat the system, face the heat
Dare to beat the system (Yeah)

[Bridge]
You can go for it all, you can go for broke
You can turn the tide around (Turn the tide around)
You can aim for the top and take the lion's share
If you dare to hold your ground
Beat the system

[Pre-Chorus]
Wise up (Wise up), rise up (Rise up)
Wise up (Wise up), rise up (Rise up)
Wise up (Wise up), rise up (Rise up)
Wise up (Wise up), rise up (Rise up)

[Chorus]
You can be more than a conqueror, you will never face defeat (How?)
You can dare to win by losing all, you can face the heat
Dare to beat the system, face the heat
Dare to beat the system (Yeah)
