The Searchers - The System

I am telling you how
I am telling you why
I am telling you when

Get into the system it′s crazy and cool
You think that it's great but you find out it is cruel
Come on with the sweet talk be modify and mean
Give the wrong thing away keep thinking I am hey
And somebody in the making (?) it′s they

Get into the system and alone
When we reach the arms of the line
Then it is goodbye
It is pity for the moment
There will be time to pay

Come on with the sweet talk
Come on with the smile
For that ain't cheap though it's grief can be sweet
But times mystified comes it is very little while

I am telling you how
I am telling you why
I am telling you when
I am telling you now

When you play the system you live
Every busy class you will burn
Then you find there is no return
And you′re on your own

Get into the system and alone
When we reach the arms of the line
Then it is goodbye

I am telling you how
I am telling you why
I am telling you when
I am telling you now

Get into the system and alone
When we reach the arms of the line
Then it is goodbye.
