Anti-Flag - Their System Doesn't Work for You Lyrics

One day while sitting in my room
You came in preaching, your words predicting doom
You've never once been happy with me
Because I not what you want me to be, no

You tried to teach me to pray and go to school
You tried to teach me to be the system's tool
But you missed what I was smart enough to see
That their system doesn't work for you or me

Oh, don't believe what they say is true
Oh, their system doesn't work for you
Oh, you can be what you want to be
Oh, don't have to choose to join the corporate army

For God and country, give up your life
Don't try to figure out what's wrong or right
You never tried to stop, to look, to see
That you're exactly what you're told to be

You did everything fucking right
You followed the system's guiding light
And now you fucking bitch to me to get a job
When you don't like the life you've got

You fucking corporate whore

Oh, don't believe what they say is true
Oh, their system doesn't work for you
Oh, you can be what you want to be
Oh, don't have to join the corporate army

Don't have to choose to join their corporate army
You don't have to, you don't have to, no
