U TALK ABOUT PALESTINE & I TALK ABOUT JIM HALL
I DON'T KNOW NOTHIN' ABOUT YOUR MIDDLE EASTERN WAR
U TALK 'BOUT LIPSTICK, BABY, I TALK ABOUT SAFE SEX
U STILL DON'T KNOW NOTHIN' 'BOUT HOW I GET MY KICKS

CHORUS:
BUT THERE ARE WAYS 2 GET THRU LIFE
& THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF ANSWERS
U WON'T GET THRU BY CHANCES
SYSTEM OF POWER

I DON'T THINK 'BOUT GOIN' PLACES WHERE I'VE NEVER BEEN
INSIDE MY SOUL 2 REACH A CONSCIENCE EXTREME
U THINK 'BOUT HOW 2 GET THAT HEAVILY REVENGE
U GOT SOME THIRST INSIDE, BABE, THAT U NEED 2 QUENCH

CHORUS
SYSTEM OF CONTROL, SYSTEM OF POWER, SYSTEM OF LOVE

SOLO

I STILL BELIEVE THAT A MAN SHOULD HAVE SOME KIND OF CONTROL
ON HOW SHE TREATS HER NEIGHBOR, FELLOW OR HER SOUL
IT TAKES A LONG, LONG TIME 2 GET 2 THAT INSIGHT
UNTIL THAT THAT DAY HAS COME, BABE, PLEASE DON' T TRY 2 FIGHT IT
