[Verse 1] You wear the bruise like gold In the grocery store cold I saw you laugh at the screen Like the whole thing’s a machine We were born in the line With a stamp and a sign But you grabbed my hand hard Said, “We don’t play their part” [Pre-Chorus] Let them count their loot Let them build their cage You and me, boots on Kicking through the page [Chorus] Against the system Against the cold machine (Against the system) You and me stay mean Against the system With your hand in mine (Against the system) We burn their wired lines [Verse 2] They want a name on your back A tiny box, black and black They want your teeth shut tight They want your wrong turned right But you spit out the script With a grin and a flip Kiss me like a flag Then tear up the tag [Pre-Chorus] Let them count their loot Let them build their cage You and me, boots on Kicking through the page [Chorus] Against the system Against the cold machine (Against the system) You and me stay mean Against the system With your hand in mine (Against the system) We burn their wired lines [Bridge] If they come for your name I’ll wear it in the rain If they lock up the door We come back for more No king, no chain No leash, no train Just your mouth on mine And a match in the rain [Final Chorus] Against the system Against the cold machine (Against the system) You and me stay mean Against the system With your hand in mine (Against the system) We burn their wired lines Against the system Till the whole thing cracks (Against the system) We don’t go back
