lyrics

we got raised on mininum wage and all the ways of breaking out
the only thing we really care about is now
we got lots of bills to pay but don’t know what we’re paying for
the way the system works right now is such a bore

it’s time we take the system down
we’re tired of being led around
it’s time to take the system down
I’m done with shutting up my mouth
now it’s time we take the system down
we’re tired of being upside down
yeah it’s time to take the system down

you get tired of trying to get hired
to a fallback that only holds you back
you’ll never know if you’re scared to go broke and live by chance
so give it all or nothing at all
cuz there’s no one to help you when you fall
we all breathe by the skin of our teeth if we can breathe at all

it’s time we take the system down
we’re tired of being led around
it’s time to take the system down
I’m done with shutting up my mouth
yeah it’s time to take the system down
we’re tired of being upside down
now it’s time to take the system down

the future’s calling and I think I’m gonna go
but tell me all the things that you think that I don’t know
we’ll see what happens when we do
but I’ll tell you if we don’t and we wait
it’s gonna break our bones

sometimes things need a litle tweak
but sometimes you gotta wipe it clean
