Complaint in the System (Veronica Guerin)

Lyrics

[Liner Notes] Welcome to the system, here's the situation It's a bit confusing; welcome to the maze Everybody sees what everybody wants to Everyone avoids every other gaze I will be your mentor, I'll be your adviser I'll do what I do and you will look away Forgetting what you see has always been much wiser But someone in the back is missing what I say [Chorus] Got a complaint in the system Got a complaint in the system Got a complaint in the system Got a complaint in the system [Verse 1] Welcome to the system, here's the situation It's a bit confusing, welcome to the maze Everybody sees what everybody wants to Everyone avoids every other gaze I will be your mentor, I'll be your adviser I'll do what I do and you will look away Forgetting what you see has always been much wiser But someone in the back is missing what I say [Chorus] Got a complaint in the system Got a complaint in the system Got a complaint in the system Got a complaint in the system [Verse 2] Welcome to the park now, we supply amusements Everybody rides but everybody pays What good's causing problems when no one's complaining? What good is a martyr if no one is saved? Everybody knows us, everybody sees us Every single child can tell you where we are Every politician says that we are leaving But in all this time we haven't gone too far [Chorus] Got a complaint in the system Got a complaint in the system Got a complaint in the system Got a complaint in the system [Verse 3] You should understand it, it's not underhanded It's really quite simple you see The right and the wrong of it, long and the short of it Black and the white of it forget the sight of it It is so much cheaper to be no one's keeper, trust me Come play [Verse 4] In the dead of the night you can stab with a knife But it's rare you'll ever get anywhere So we laugh in delight till you turn on a light And we scatter for the darkness or the corners filled with blackness And we're there! There! There! There! There, there! Where? Where? Where? Where? Where, where? There! There! There! There! There, there! Where? Where? Where? Where? Where, where? There!
