The Human Race is runnin' over me

I punch a clock at 9 and 5

Just tryin' to make a livin'

A plastic face on satellite TV

Says, "Life is filled with give and take"

He's takin' and I'm givin

So I dance



(Hook)

It's my system of survival (SOS)

I'm dancin'

System of survival (SOS)

It's a system of survival

Future revival

Greet the new arrival



(Bridge)

At times it's the only way

I'm gonna make it through this day



(Chorus)

Everybody get up

Do your dance

Keep survivin'

Everybody get up

Do your dance

Stay alive



A city night

I walk a street in fear

While politicians brag about

A paperwork solution



Another life

I shed another tear

I'm waiting for somebody new

To lead the revolution

So I dance



(Hook)

It's my system of survival...

(Repeat Hook and Chorus)

(SOS) Send it out

Send it out, send it out, send it out...
