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 she'd 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...
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 she'd 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... Explain Request ×
