  • You walked in the room like it was some kinda movie
    These kind of matters aren't worth disputing
    And when the going gets rough, you get a bit sloppy
    But it never really mattered, cause you'll always land softly

    Call it what it is boy
    Systematic
    Call it what it is boy
    It's man made
    You can call it what it is now
    It's a racket
    Call it what it is

    You didn't have the right man beside you
    No womanly voice heard for miles around you
    You had these lessons passed down through generations
    Hm, they've all gone bad now, they're spoiled, they're tainted
    It's tainted

    Call it what it is boy
    Systematic
    Call it what it is boy
    It's man made
    You can call it what it is now
    It's a racket
    Call it what it is

    You've got these peasants quivering at your feet
    Whispers, whispers they wish they could scream (ow)

    Lover we're surrounded
    With nowhere to go
    Lover we're surrounded
    With nowhere to go

    Call it what it is boy
    Call it what it is boy
    You can call it what it is boy
    You can call it what it is

    Call it what it is boy
    Systematic
    Call it what it is boy
    It's man made
    You can call it what it is now
    It's a racket
    Call it what it is

    Systematic

    It's a racket

    (Lover we're surrounded) call it what it is boy
    (With nowhere to go) call it what it is boy
    (Lover we're surrounded) you can call it what it is now
    (With nowhere to go) call it what it is Writer/s: Michael John Deangelis, Nicholas William Dika, Robert Max Kerman, Timothy James Oxford
