We dread
Working for your bread
While the bosses
Sitting asses
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
I’ve got to work so hard for my just reward
Them put me through a test
And when I have done my best
The only thing I’ve got is praise, no raise
A so the system work, if yuh nuh check it up
You bound to get a jerk
A so the system work, if yuh nuh check it up
You will jump out the earth
I told them of my responsibility
And I only my credibility
They give me some assurety
And when I argue about the security
Them pat me on the shoulder
Saying everything is alright (alright, alright!)
When the Friday comes
And I got my pay
Tomorrow me a borrow
A so the system work, if yuh nuh check it up
You bound to get a jerk
A so the system work, if yuh nuh check it up
You will jump out the earth
A so the system work, if yuh nuh check it up
You bound to get a jerk
The system
The system
The system
Be careful of the system
Oh
Be careful of the system
Or you will be a victim
The system
The sys
The sys
The sys
The system
Ah, ah oahh
