Lyrics

When I was a Boy at School
Teacher told me not to be a Fool,
Toe the Line and You will do Fine
That what He Said,

Then I was a Working Man,
The Boss said you got to understand,
Dont do what I do Do what I say
And it will Be OK

Thats when I learned about the System,
The Honey Trap, Capitalism,
The Carrots there in front of you
And The Stick's Not Far behind.

(Voice over)

THE SYSTEM IS THERE TO CONTROL YOU
TO MAKE YOU WORK HARD SO YOU CAN BUY ALL ALL THOSE THINGS
SOME PEOPLE SAY THE SYSTEM IS THERE TO TAKE
TO TAKE AWAY ALL YOUR DREAMS

They can take your Fancy Car,
Take Your House and All your Nice thing,
But theres nothing left of a man
When they take away his dreams..


Then I said to myself,
This could be Heavan or it could be hell,
Why Should I live my Life this Way Everyday.

I realy like the music here JC.....wonderfull intention, but a couple of flaws in syncopation in that lovely chord break...
I realize timing/phrasing is always due to personal taste and discussion....but hey....I experienced it that way ! The instrumentation an sich is beautifull.....Lovely brassy intro....than blooming.....Production...a lot of clarity and space...excellent separation in the mix ! The lyrics.....Mwaaa...JC...The system will eventually always hook up with ya.....It isn't perfect...but hey it's there !
Good to see you are bit of a ideologist...they are usealy good people !

Good to hear Michel's warm voice, and Nigel's contribution !

Greetz !
