Slave to the system

As the title suggest...we are all slave to the system! Haha...n Ram recommended me this song which I felt was quite cool...well written..simply love the lyrics..n about it being quite a heavy song :) here's the lyrics!

he road before you see it coming, everything is there
A change is necessary, a better nation's in the air
All around you vicious barracudas tearing out your back
A sleazy manifesto feeds the revolution that you lack

Dirty hands are itching, dirty eyes are glowing in your path
Weasel minds are working, dreaming dollar signs that last and last
Promising the sky chasing the ambulance of plastic life
Smiling as they tie you down The deal is done, the rope is tight

(Chorus)
They light the fires inside your brain
And what it is I can't explain
You must believe in all you do
That better days are coming soon
So open up your very soul
And lay it out, they will behold
And if you do, you'll never be
A slave to the system

Speak in quips and phrases cryptic and distinguished heart and soul
Now the backs are breaking, feel the pressure and do as you're told
Crawling out of corporate vacuums now they've got you by the balls
Just another blackhole for believers like yourself to fall

(Chorus)

Now the world is listening, tell them something that they may not know
The minions and their grand delusions always come and go
We're beaming down by satellite this guerilla warfare point of view
Manipulate the monster before it brings a change in you

(Chorus)

We're all slaves
Slave to the system
We're all slaves
Slave to the system


N here's one more!!

So after all those one night stands
You've ended up with heart in hand
A child alone... On your own... Retreating
Regretful for the things you're not
And all the dreams you haven't got
Without a home... A heart of stone... Lies bleeding
And for all the roads you followed
And for all you did not find
And for all the things you had to leave behind

I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams
Don't turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
And all I ask of you is... Believe

Your childhood eyes were so intense
While bartering your innocence
For bits of string... The grown-up wings... You needed
But when you had to add them up
You found that they were not enough
To get you in... Pay for sins... Repeated
And for all the years you borrowed
And for all the tears you cryed
And for all the fears you had to keep inside

I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams
Don't turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
All I ask of you is... Believe!, yeah

I never wanted to know, never wanted to see
I wasted my time till time wasted me
Never wanted to go, always wanted to stay
'Cause the person I am, are the parts that I play
So I plot and I plan, hope and I scheme
To the lure of a night filled with unfinished dreams
And I'm holding on tight to a world gone astray
As they charge me for years... I can't pay!, yeah

I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams
Don't turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
And all I ask of you is... Believe
...Believe...
