System - ¡MAYDAY!, Common Kings

Downtown after-hours

That’s when I be after ours

That’s when I zone out and crumble purple flowers

That’s when I think back to all the close encounters

Back when all we had was nothing that was ours

Downtown after-hours

Hundred-thousand miles per hour

That’s when we would dream about escaping town

That’s when we would try to find an exit out

Back when we would pass it left and burn it out

Downtown making sounds

Wonder where you’ve been living now

Every time I think back from REX

Tell me where you’ve been

Tell me where you’re going to be at

Was it real or was it fake?

Was it chance or was it fate?

Were we friends or just a phase?

I’m just trying to understand your ways

Dime machines and fantasies

Ain’t giving me no peace of mind

I’m trying to find myself trying to get a small piece of mine

But if I hit rewind

You’re still on my mind

I guess it’s just an imprint that you left behind

Go ‘head get that out of your system

(G-g-g-get out)

Out of your system

(G-g-g-get that out)

Out of your system

(G-g-g-get it out)

Get it out

Get that kick that out of your system

(G-g-g-get out)

Out of your system

(G-g-g-get out)

Out of your system

(G-g-g-get it out)

Get it out

Keep your head above the water

Keep your head above the waves

Get it out your system ‘bout to see a better day

Go and get it out

Better off back-turned to the accolades

Face down in the mud

Better to take turns with a hand grenade

Than to finally get that love

I’ve been a pessimistic misfit

So negative sadistic

That are better with the misfits up in the trees and getting lifted

But I’m low down

Picking up things that I cannot control now

Each day I keep it low-brow

And my life is such a showdown

So please, please feel for me these problems are my first world

And I can barely spare a second to realize the cursed world

Now back it up

Did I just say what I think I said?

I’m acting up

I’m living life

With my family right

We got a roof

We stacking up

We do just what we want when we want now isn’t that enough

For us to be appreciative and super down to laugh it up?

But I am just a being suffering the human condition

That thinks the Matrix is too perfect and could use resistance

Now every time I feel like I am on a useless mission

I snap back on myself to say shoot that out your system

Listen

Go ‘head get that out of your system

(G-g-g-get out)

Out of your system

(G-g-g-get that out)

Out of your system

(G-g-g-get it out)

Get it out

Get that kick that out of your system

(G-g-g-get out)

Out of your system

(G-g-g-get out)

Out of your system

(G-g-g-get it out)

Get it out

Keep your head above the water

Keep your head above the waves

Get it out your system ‘bout to see a better day

Go and get it out

Get it out

Get it out

No matter how you do it

Don’t waste another minute

Aw yeah

Get it out
