LYRICS
You know we’re all suckin’ off the system
I know I am
Very clear what’s going on here
It started with my Mom’s teat
… but, we all gotta eat
Ya, we’re all sucking off the same hose
Everyone knows
It’s more about your need
More about the greed
Starting with your Mom’s teat
We’ve all got to eat
No surprise when you realize right before your eyes
We’re all suckin’ off the system
I know I am
But, I know I’ll do what can
How about you
We strive to stay alive
Survival of the fittest
Who is best?
My, oh, my
What will be my best fit
Even if I don’t like it a bit
Every day when I wake
See how much I can take
Gotta see what I can be
Gotta see what’s inside of me
I know, I know, I know
We’re all suckin’ off the same hose
I know, I know
How the water will flow
We’re all suckin’ of the system
I am…
I know I am
Gonna do what I can do
Hope you will, too
See what we can be
I know
About the flow
I know I am
Suckin’ off the system
Suckin’ off the system
I know I am
Started with my mother’s teat
We all gotta eat
