Game The System

I have a nice chair in which I dare to compare
Trap and snare and life unfair
Katrina took a selfie showed her was outie was an innie
Now she’s influencing them all more than the Oracle at Delphi
Her voice like thunder’s bellowing shout
When you’re six feet under
Every which way is out
That’s right
So check it out.

Game the system, baby

There’s a funny old cushion after a fashion I’ve seen
It’s big
And it’s green
What a strange dream—of cotton-tailed rainbows
And costumes a-glare
And that pair of old jeans, so unfair to wear
When my spirit is down, I am such a clown
So I guess when I’m happy, that means I should frown
That’s right
So check it out.

Game the system, baby

I thought I’d like to run down to the sea
To dance, and play and shout with glee
When I reached that far-off shore
I met with a bluebottle
I am no more

Game the system, baby

I have a big couch on which I like to crouch and plot the demise of those who are bad
But my crouching turned to slouching and I think I went mad
So much of today will be gone as fad
Turn off the TV—I can’t stand the glare
Something is wrong in this sad, sad affair
That’s right
So check it out

I thought I’d like to run down to the sea
To dance, and play and shout with glee
When I reached that far-off shore
I met with a bluebottle
I am no more

Game the system, baby
