The system's not designed for you or me
it's made for those we'd like to be,
Oh yes!
I said it, the system read it and
I move one step up the ladder.

I can't stand it
it's too much like a
one armed bandit,
you think you'll win
and so pop in
another example of
what you're made from,
the wheels spin and
spit your answer out
wrong,

Try again.

2021
that can't go wrong
can it?

The hand I hold belongs
to a voice that says,
I told you,
Try again.
