Perfect System

(앨범: Only A Lad - 1981)

I'm in love with you, I know
And I know that you love me, too
I'm in love with you, I know
I'm in love with everyone, too
We're all comrades now, you know
We're all brothers under the skin
With a few adjustments, now
Living in the perfect system

The adjustment's simple; there's really no pain
You'll hardly notice anything has changed

Living in a programmed life never
Really has ups and downs
There's no need for fighting now
There's no reason to wear a frown

In a perfect system
There's no confrontation
Unnecessary friction
To impede our concentration
We've simply done away with
Unnecessary friction
I live in a system
I got an occupation
I get enough nutrition
By eating protein biscuits
Recommended by the system
It's routine regulation
I had an operation....

I'm in love with you, I know
And I know that you love me, too
I'm in love with you, I know
I'm in love with everyone, too

I can tell by the look in your blank, dull eyes
That you agree, but I'm not a bit surprised

Living in a programmed life never
Really has ups and downs
There's no need for fighting now
There's no reason to wear a frown

I had an operation
With no adverse reaction
They tampered with my brain some
It helped me see the reason
For living in the system
It helped me see the reason

(We're all brothers in a perfect world)
In a perfect world, there's uniformity
(We're all brothers in a perfect world)
In a perfect world, there's continuity
(We're all brothers in a perfect world)
There's no need for spontaneity
Perfect system; we're all brothers to the end
Brothers to the end
Brothers to the end
I know, and I know that you love me, too
(Brothers to the end)
I know I'm in love with everyone, too
(Brothers to the end)
I know we're all comrades under the skin
(Brothers to the end)
I know, living in a perfect system
Brothers to the end!
