The System Lyrics - Singles - Whippersnapper

You never heard a word your father said 

Until he said, "Goodbye" 

And now you walk these streets in agony 

Just looking for the reason why 

You try to tell me that you've played it safe 

Lay in wait, looking for your reason to shine 

And all this talk about intensity, your destiny 

You're telling me you're going to be just fine 

I want to believe you 

But it's too late 

I want to believe you 

But it's too late 

Finally you've come to see 

That nothing's as it really seems 

Your broken dreams, your blue skies turn to gray 

And now you've left me kind of dangling 

Wondering if ever really felt this way 

I want to believe you 

But it's too late 

I want to believe you 

But it's too late 

Say you're going to prove yourself right 

Say you won't go down without a fight 

Don't know how "The system " is going to let you live 

But words alone almost always mean nothing 

Look in your eyes, I know that you're bluffing 

Truth be known, I think you never had the will to give 

Waste away your life, no motivation 

Waste away your life, no motivation 

Waste away your life, no motivation now 

Waste away your life, no motivation 

Waste away your life, no motivation 

Waste away your life, no motivation now 

Now I've learned how to walk away 

And let you go your separate way 

Before you drag me down 

And in between your tears 

You scream and shout, you're selling out 

The water is overhead but I won't drown 

I want to believe you 

But it's too late 

I want to believe you 

But it's too late
