U talk about palestine & i talk about jim hall I don't know nothin' about your middle eastern war U talk 'bout lipstick, baby, i talk about safe sex U still don't know nothin' 'bout how i get my kicks Chorus: But there are ways 2 get thru life & there are hundreds of answers U won't get thru by chances System of power I don't think 'bout goin' places where i've never been Inside my soul 2 reach a conscience extreme U think 'bout how 2 get that heavily revenge U got some thirst inside, babe, that u need 2 quench Chorus System of control, system of power, system of love Solo I still believe that a man should have some kind of control On how she treats her neighbor, fellow or her soul It takes a long, long time 2 get 2 that insight Until that that day has come, babe, please don' t try 2 fight it
