Systematic Panic

Post by Ross »

By Ross Durand

When the first guy got scared he yelled Hey! Look over there
And that was all it took to put a panic in the air
Cause the two guys on his sides thought it was best to run and hide
And you know they started pushin other people aside
And that made other people startled so the other people started
Tryin to get out of the way, but the crowd just wasn’t parted
So people started pushin they were all lookin
Tryin to find the nearest exit or a path that wasn’t tooken
So some people got knocked down or got a boot to the head
All because of something that one guy said

Sytematic - Systematic Panic
When one thing leads to another it's a systematic panic

Then the cops caught on that there was something goin wrong
So they pulled out their batons and put their hands on their guns
And they all started shoutin loud to disperse the crowd
But they just wer-en’t checkin in that there was no way out
By the time they launched the gas they were getting nowhere fast
So no one was surprised when the crowd fought back
So shots were fired in the air which just made people more scared
And the legend till this day is that the crowd won fair and square
It caused a lotta consternation and corruption of the law
And to this day no one knows what that first guy saw

Systematic Panic by The Hell Yeahs

All they want you to do is cower,
while they watch from an ivory tower
and they let that fear consume you
and you know they sold it to you
yeah you know they sold it to you

livin' like a coward, lookin' round the corner
yeah, you better stay afraid
walkin' in the gridlines, shakin' fret an' shiver
yeah, you better stay afraid
leavin' all the lights on, jumpin' when the phone rings
rats race & crime pays
just the way they planned it, systematic panic

yeah

Your weakness, boy will they exploit it
to the point that you enjoy it
and they know you won't expect it
'cause you think you been protected
yeah, you think you been protected

workin' for your coffin, payin' for your prison
yeah, you better stay afraid
deputizin' cowards, vilify the standouts
yeah you better stay afraid
placin' all the safe bets in the name of progress
rats race and crime pays
just the way they planned it, systematic panic

I know you wanna, but I don't think you wanna wanna know.

yeah.

livin' like a coward, lookin' round the corner
yeah, you better stay afraid
walkin' in the gridlines, shakin' fret an' shiver
yeah, you better stay afraid
leavin' all the lights on, jumpin' when the phone rings
rats race & crime pays
just the way they planned it, panic

Systematic Panic by The K Twins
Lyrics and vocals by Kamakura
Music and additional vocals by Kapitano


It’s a systematic panic down on Main Street
Everybody is dancing to the break beat
Eagle eyed watching the cameraman
Everybody thinks that they are just God’s gift
Everybody thinks the rest are just shit rifts
It’s the way, the way we’re brought up to be

And every time I come back to Earth
To ride the train of life again
It never seems to change for the better
It just gets worse


It’s a systematic panic on the top floor
The shares have dropped a hundred and are dropping more
Oh my God! No bonus for you or me
Oh no! I never thought that he would jump
By the way his P.A. was really plump
This is not, not the way things should be

And every time I come back to Earth
To ride the train of life again
It never seems to change for the better
It just gets worse

Systematic Panic by Abecedarian

A frosty day to lay your brother in the ground
unfortunate we are

but in his face I see a message for my days:
poor boy
poor girl
live on

I'm in systematic panic, planning all my days before they're here
why aren't you like that too?

As you lean down to wipe the snow from off your shoes
a groundswell of tears appears
And falling backwards you collapse upon the ground
holding my hand
Months go by you're sitting on the couch
wasting your days away

I'm in systematic panic, running all around to find my way
why aren't you like that too?

<b>Systematic Panic
by John Benjamin

TO BE SUNG ALOUD, WHILE DANCING

When we get together
My hands start to shake
From chronic complications
Of imminent heartbreak
Systematic, predictable
Panic
Out of control

There are times when it feels
Like we're moving
Like the old days
Hips and hearts
Grooving

But just when it seems
Like our love might be true
I look in your eyes and they're cold
Ice blue

When we get together
My hands start to shake
From chronic complications
Of imminent heartbreak
Systematic, predictable
Panic
Out of control

I can read you like a novel
I can tell you want to do it
Your finger's on the trigger
So go ahead and pull it

Say you love me again
Throw my doubts into the fire
Help me remember when
You were a better liar

When we get together
My hands start to shake
From chronic complications
Of imminent heartbreak
Systematic, predictable
Panic
Out of control

When we get together
My hands start to shake
From chronic complications
Of imminent heartbreak
Systematic, predictable
Panic
Out of control</b>

Systematic Panic
by Ricky Shallow and the Blown Loads

Girl I wanna be in love with your blood x5

Load the automatic
Systematic panic
I load the automatic
systematic panic

Girl I fuckin' wanna shoot your dad
wanna take a shotgun and shoot your dad
wanna make him dead so he's your dead dad
wanna shoot him in the fuckin' mouth

chorus

I wanna flip off your mom
wanna snort cocaine off your tits
then I'm gonna take you to church,
and ask the priest what he thinks of it.

chorus

I don't know what I'd do if I weren't in love with you

(gibbering, dog yelps)

Look, it's the sun!
It loves everyone!
So guess what?
The sun's a fuckin' slut!

I wanna join the Marine Corps, etc.

half a chorus

(I don't even remember what I screamed here)
