EARTH, WIND AND FIRE lyrics - System Of Survival

(Skylark)



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...
