The System Lyrics by Sylvia Juncosa

One Thing

0

I could spend my whole life
Waiting on this corner
You can take your time
Cause you know I'll be there
Anything you ask for, they'll slam it down
Anything you give 'em, they'll slam it down
You go burning down the highway
Spitting nickels & dimes all over the place
Don't care what happens
You got plenty all over the place
And on the few occasions
You come close enough
I see the satisfied smile on your face
Cause you've beat the system
That's one thing I know for sure

Cause you feed on the general need
In a land where nothing's enough
You bring a little peace
You live on the saying "one more time"
You know they'll keep saying "one more time"
You send some money back home
To the family in Mexico
If they knew where it came from
They'd be proud, I'm sure
Cause we've got the sickness
& you've got the cure
We've got the money
& your mama's poor
But you've beat the system
How I wish I could say that too
You've beat the system
That's one thing I know for sure
