Someday in a dim twilight find an old flashlight get new eyesight someday
Someday when the time is right claim an old birthright get new hindsight someday
Sometime when we grow to know, gotta make a change things move too slow

System Crash, they stole all our hope now we got no cash
System failed, large dreams died they were bought wholesale
Lost control, beat us to the punch found an old loophole
Someday if it's not too late, gotta find a way to a system update

Back then when we gained some ground, conscience could be found
We were outward bound back then
Someone closed an old playground, ran a cause around
Drove it underground back when
Some folks like the status quo, other ones see through a new rainbow

System Crash, they stole all our hope now we got no cash
System failed, large dreams died they were bought wholesale
Lost control, beat us to the punch found an old loophole
Someday if it's not too late, gotta find a way to a system update

Listen to the people sing, we're not afraid new plans are made now
Gotta move fast upswing cadence cascade, not retrograde now

It's crashed gotta fix it, it's crashed gotta fix it
It's crashed gotta fix it, gotta find a way to a system update
It's crashed gotta fix it (It's really crashed), it's crashed gotta fix (it's really crashed)
It's crashed gotta fix it, gotta find a way out now....

Someday at an awful cost, we'll be found not lost, at a new outpost someday
Someday when we walk across the surface gloss of a God-like Boss someway
Someday in a future time, others won't prosper from their crime

System Crash, they stole all our hope now we got no cash
System failed, large dreams died they were bought wholesale
Lost control, beat us to the punch found an old loophole
Someday if it's not too late, gotta find a way to a system update

It's crashed gotta fix it, it's crashed gotta fix it
It's crashed gotta fix it, gotta find a way to a system update
It's crashed gotta fix it, it's crashed gotta fix it
It's crashed gotta fix it, gotta find a way to a system update!
