"System Of Survival" lyrics - EARTH, WIND AND FIRE

EARTH, WIND AND FIRE
"System Of Survival"

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...
