Complete Meltdown - The System Lyrics

Need to extrapolate. Need to facilitate
I need a system of communication consummate
I need sobriety, not notoriety
But my desires to adventure in society
Lead me to add it up. And then
I mess it up
I try to understand the game, the plays and how to make the moves
Counting cards, learning fast, strategise, make it last

I've got a system. I've got a system
I play it cool. Know what to do
I sow a seed around for you
I had a pattern. I had a pattern
And now I'm breaking it.
I'm faking it. I'm making it into
My new religion. My new religion
My new religion. My new religion
My new religion. My new religion
My new religion. My new religion

With my eyes open
Go through the motion
I say a word or two accommodate commotion
I'm full of energy. Depleting rapidly
The last man standing has a plan
And leaves eventually
And so another night is over but my plight
Continues and I make the moves until the morning light
Counting cards, learning fast strategise, make it last

I've got a system. I've got a system
I play it cool. Know what to do
I sow a seed around for you
I had a pattern. I had a pattern
And now I'm breaking it.
I'm faking it. I'm making it into
My new religion. My new religion
My new religion. My new religion
My new religion. My new religion
My new religion. My new religion

And so I try it out. I venture out about
I talk 2U, I talk 2U, I talk 2U, I talk 2U
I sense the atmosphere. I get it wrong
I fear. But I don't care, I go ahead
And then I bump back into you
I know it's all messed up
I flitter all about. I take the roundabout
I try to sound you out
Counting cards, learning fast, strategise, make it last

I've got a system. I've got a system
I play it cool. Know what to do
I sow a seed around for you
I had a pattern. I had a pattern
And now I'm breaking it.
I'm faking it. I'm making it into
My new religion. My new religion
My new religion. My new religion
My new religion. My new religion
My new religion. My new religion

I've got a system. I've got a system
I play it cool. Know what to do
I sow a seed around for you
I had a pattern. I had a pattern
And now I'm breaking it.
I'm faking it. I'm making it into
My new religion. My new religion
My new religion. My new religion
My new religion. My new religion
My new religion. My new religion
