You Can't Beat the System

[00:01.75] You can't beat the system (You can't beat the system)
[00:04.28] No, you can't beat the system (You can't beat the system)
[00:09.59] They chain you, detain you, restrict you and restrain you
[00:14.25] They rented special shackles from the state of Pennsylvania
[00:18.84] Don't bother with the facts
[00:20.64] Because they're always gonna twist 'em
[00:23.64] No matter what you do you know you can't beat the system.
[00:28.45]
[00:32.04] Life is a trumped up charge
[00:36.88] Life is a trumped up charge
[00:41.24] I'm just another sap too dumb to beat their rap
[00:45.91] The one way I'm a felon is I fell into their trap
[00:50.67] The world's the one that did it
[00:52.72] But the world is still at large
[00:55.62] Life is a trumped up charge
[00:58.26]
[01:02.74] We didn't set no fire
[01:06.57] I said, we didn't set no fire
[01:11.57] Let me reinstate my case; I was busy sucking face
[01:16.40] I was going for a triple but got stuck at second base
[01:21.08] I was over at the quarry swinging naked from a tire
[01:26.22] We didn't set no fire
[01:29.53]
[01:33.32] Love is his alibi
[01:37.28] I said, love is his alibi
[01:42.18] I can place him at my scene, if you know what I mean
[01:46.70] He was with me from approximately six to twelve-fifteen
[01:51.60] If you call me as a witness, I will gladly testify
[01:56.96] Love is his alibi
[01:59.47]
[02:02.83]
[02:06.03] They'll nail you, they'll jail you, they'll say that you're a failure
[02:10.76] We certainly appear to have you by the genitalia
[02:15.43] They'll charge you with resistance
[02:17.65] Even if you don't resist 'em
[02:20.15] No matter what you do, you know-
[02:22.58] You can't beat the system (You can't beat the system)
[02:26.97] No, you can't beat the system (You can't beat the system)
[02:31.97] You'll mock it, you'll knock it, you'll kick and shake and shock it
[02:36.67] How dare you come before this court and desecrate my docket
[02:41.46] But there will soon be justice here
[02:43.62] 'Cause you're about to see
[02:45.91] You're looking at the system
[02:48.35] And you can't beat me
[02:52.04]
