Oracle - Will This System Save Me? Lyrics

Oh, I've been up all night, sun went down at noon
Running out of things, things that I can do
But blame it all on God, like how could I still lose
Running through this maze, running after you

I've been up so long, bout to say so long
Bout to say no way, I cannot go on
And think that I'm not wrong
For going my own way, foregoing my own faith

For we are opposed around the world
By a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy
That relies primarily on covet means
For expanding its sphere of influence

On infiltration instead of invasion
On subversion instead of elections
On intimidation instead of free choice
On guerrillas by night instead of armies by day

It is a system which has conscripted
Vast human and material resources
Into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine

I've been up so long, you gave up awfully soon
From don't be taking too long, to don't wait up for me,
Don't lead me down no road, to leave me on my own,
Then say deeper in this maze, is the only way that I

Might enjoy my life, I'd rather live by faith
I'd rather walk at my own pace
I cannot go on, and think that I'm not wrong
For going my own way, foregoing my own faith

There is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society
By imitating its arbitrary restrictions
Even today, there is little value in ensuring the survival of our nation
If our traditions do not survive with it

And there is very grave danger
That an announced need for increased security
Will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning
To the very limits of official censorship and concealment

That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it's in my control
