Playing the System

(Verse 1)
Wake up, it’s time to rise,
No more sleeping, let’s ignite the skies!
City’s screaming, ruled by golden liars,
Punk runs in my veins, I’m setting fires!
Listen to their chatter, saying it’s a crime,
But I don’t wanna be a clone, wasting time.
They say you gotta play their game,
But I’m rolling dice, let it be insane!
(Chorus)
Playing the system, no limits in sight,
Instead of their norms, freedom’s burning bright.
We rebel, shout it loud,
No government will silence our crowd!
(Verse 2)
Neighbors in suits, faces like masks,
Claiming they’re grown-ups, but don’t they wear tasks?
We’re in leather jackets, guitar in hand,
I hear you screaming, let’s take a stand!
On the streets, anger flows,
Not for their world, not for their woes.
Rather be real than follow their script,
Punk’s in our blood, let the truth be ripped!
(Chorus)
Playing the system, no limits in sight,
Instead of their norms, freedom’s burning bright.
We rebel, shout it loud,
No government will silence our crowd!
(Bridge)
No one controls what I feel inside,
Even when they shout, I’ll take it in stride.
Let’s smash their plans, let them be scared,
Punk is our voice, no way it gets impaired!
(Verse 3)
It’s all a lie, their game’s in their hands,
Truth’s on the streets, not in their bands.
Instead of their rules, we’ll make our own way,
With rockin’ sound, forever we’ll play!
(Chorus)
Playing the system, no limits in sight,
Instead of their norms, freedom’s burning bright.
We rebel, shout it loud,
No government will silence our crowd!
(Outro)
So stand up, raise your fist, scream out loud,
Let them hear us all, let them feel the crowd.
In punk there’s power, in rebellion there’s peace,
Playing the system, our anthem won’t cease!
I hope this captures the spirit of punk rock and the style of the Sex Pistols! Let me know what you think or if you'd like any changes!
