Complaint In The System (Veronica Guerin)

Written by Jon Oliva, Paul O'Neill



Welcome to the system

Here's the situation

It's a bit confusing

Welcome to the maze

Everybody sees what

Everybody wants to

Everyone avoids

Every other gaze



I will be your mentor

I'll be your advisor

I'll do what I do

And you will look away

Forgetting what you see

Has always been much wiser

But someone in the back is missing what I say



Got a complaint in the system

Got a complaint in the system



Welcome to the park now

We supply amusements

Everybody rides

But everybody pays



What good's causing problems

When no one's complaining

What good is a martyr

If no one is saved



Everybody knows us

Everybody sees us

Every single child

Can tell you where we are



Every politician

Says that we are leaving

But in all this time

We haven't gone too far



Got a complaint in the system

Got a complaint in the system

Got a complaint in the system

Got a complaint in the system



You should understand it

It's not underhanded

It's really quite simple you see



The right and the wrong of it

Long and the short of it

Black and the white of it

Forget the sight of it

It is so much cheaper

To be no one's keeper

Trust me



In the dead of the night

You can stab with a knife

But it's rare you'll ever get anywhere



So we laugh in delight

Till you turn on a light

And we scatter for the darkness

Or the corners filled with blackness

And we're

There

There

There

There

There

There

Where

Where

Where

Where

Where

Where

There
