The night is closing in On another day A moment's peace some time To sleep my dreams away But not enough to hide From the truth 'Cause the system's gonna get you Come what may Sooner or later it's gonna find a way You're gonna see, there's no escape From the system Try as you do You're just not getting thru' Makes no difference What you try to do You won't be satisfied you'll have Frustration at your side Put it to the test To hell with the rest Make your deal with the devil You'll find it hard to stay alive Just to survive It's the system
