Does This System Work Lyrics - Singles - Defiance

It's out of the ashes and into the dust 

Why are you fools so fucking eager to trust? 

The same fucking scum that bribe you with wages 

As they've done from the start 

As they will through the ages 

[Chorus] 

If there's liberity freedom and justic for all 

They why do we suffer and why do we fall? 

When the rich fucking scum's greed won't cease to persist 

While we slave and we toil 

Just barely exist 

If there laws are set up to serve and protect 

Why the fuck is there so much famine and death? 

Why do innocent die while the scum still stay in power? 

While we waste our whole lives protecting these cowards 

If it all works so well and they are striving for peace 

Why is there torture and war, greed and death? 

While we work and we toil till our last dying breath 

And you're so fucking happy 

Living under the gun 

While you slave and tou toil 

They have their day in the sun 

If their wars preserve freedom for one and for all 

Then why don't they die on their own battelfields?
