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
