System Of Survival (Live) Lyrics
Earth (Feat. Wind & Fire)
Lyrics
The Human Race is runnin' over me
I punch a clock at 9 and 5
Just tryin' to make a livin'
A plastic face on satellite TV
Says, "Life is filled with give and take"
He's takin' and I'm givin'
So I dance
It's my system of survival (SOS)
Hey, I'm dancin'
System of survival (SOS)
It's a system of survival
Future revival
Greet the new arrival
It's a system of survival
Future revival
Greet the new arrival
At times it's the only way
I'm gonna make it through this day
Everybody get up
Do your dance
Keep survivin'
Everybody get up
Do your dance
Stay alive
System of survival
A city night
I walk a street in fear
While politicians brag about
A paperwork solution
Another life
I shed another tear
I'm waiting for somebody new
To lead the revolution
So I dance
It's my system of survival (SOS)
Hey, I'm dancin'
System of survival (SOS)
It's a system of survival
Future revival
Greet the new arrival
It's a system of survival
Future revival
Greet the new arrival
Everybody get up
Do your dance
Keep survivin'
Everybody get up
Do your dance
Stay alive
Let's work out
Let's work
Let's work
System of survival
System of survival
Oooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
System of survival
SOS, boom boom yeah yeah
SOS, yeah, yeah, yeah
Send it out, send it out, send it out
Send it out, send it out, send it out
SOS
