EARTH, WIND AND FIRE Lyrics
System Of Survival Lyrics
(Skylark)
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
[Hook]
It's my system of survival (SOS)
I'm dancin'
System of survival (SOS)
It's a system of survival
Future revival
Greet the new arrival
[Bridge]
At times it's the only way
I'm gonna make it through this day
[Chorus]
Everybody get up
Do your dance
Keep survivin'
Everybody get up
Do your dance
Stay alive
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
[Hook]
It's my system of survival...
[Repeat Hook and Chorus]
(SOS) Send it out
Send it out, send it out, send it out...
