The System Is Down

Lyrics
Verse 1
Lights are going out
The sound is turning down
Cars are stalling, planes are falling
All across town
Everyone is coming out
And dancing in the town square
Everything is upside-down
But we don't really even care
Chorus
We don't know what happened
But the system is down
We don't know who did it
Prob'ly some clown
We're free from the chains
Free to use our brains
We're going insane
The system is down
Verse 2
The interac machines don't work
The VISA cards won't swipe
You want to get to work? You can't.
The bus won't run, now don't you gripe
Who thought that all our everyday
Necessities would hamper us
With all these gone, a new life dawns
Something free of stress and fuss
Verse 3
Bureaucracy is disappearing
The stocks are falling fast
Cubicles and paperwork
All are gone at last
No kind of leader's in control
And chaos will ensue
But let's ignore that fact right now
And just do what we wanna do
