[Verse 1] Hey, nobody's stopping me now I'm gonna leave it somehow When I'm full of gold Hey, yeah there’s no turning around Until my quota is found It's been so long Where did I go? Part of me isn't here Can you see me? Can you hear my voice tonight? [Pre-Chorus] Where do I go from here? Why don't you understand? What have you done to me? Can you see me? Can you hear me? [Chorus] Cause all we need is money! And all we want is power! They will take our freedom! I'm done with this I'm done with the system Money! And all we want is power! They will take our freedom! I'm done with this I'm done with the system [Verse 2] Take away my pain Shift apart the pieces of my heart and cut this game Learning to survive between the sinners gone insane Inside this bag of broken dreams Risking what you take Choices are the reason you are locked up in a cage Look around to find there's really no one else to blame Blame yourself for broken dreams Where did I go? Part of me isn't here Can you see me? Can you hear my voice tonight? [Pre-Chorus] Where do I go from here? Why don't you understand? What have you done to me? Can you see me? Can you hear me? [Chorus] Cause all we need is money! And all we want is power! They will take our freedom! I'm done with this I'm done with the system Money! And all we want is power! They will take our freedom! I'm done with this I'm done with the system, yeah [Post-Chorus] I'm done with this I'm done with the system I'm done with this I'm done with the system I'm done with this I'm done with the system, yeah I'm done with this I'm done with the system [Bridge] Oh, oh Oh, oh-oh Oh, oh Oh, oh-oh Oh, oh Oh, oh-oh Oh, oh Oh, oh-oh-oh [Outro] I've been sitting in this place for years You have shown where to place my fear My life is gone and no one knows None of us seem to care I've been sitting in this place for years You have shown where to place my fear My life is gone and no one knows None of us seem to care I've been sitting in this place for years You have shown where to place my fear My life is gone and no one knows None of us seem to care I've been sitting in this place for years You have shown where to place my fear My life is gone and no one knows None of us seem to care (Mmm, ah, mmm-mmm) (Mmm, ah, mmm-mmm) (Mmm, ah, mmm-mmm) (Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm)
