Story behind the song
My motivation for this song was a strong sense of disgust for the way people of means are totally disregarding the plight of those misfortunate people who surround all of us.
Lyrics
Systematic Breakdown by Bowman & Brown Systematic breakdown. Ain’t got no job, can’t find my place. Systematic breakdown. Just walk the streets, don’t leave no trace. Everyone knows my face, but they don’t know my name. Can’t you see me there, standin’ out in the rain. Solitary shakedown. Don’t lock me up, I’m still a man. Solitary shakedown. It’s not my fault, I don’t fit your plan. You can threaten me, you can swallow up my pride. I can’t hurt you now, they’re takin’ me for a ride. Military takedown. Lost our way, don’t give a damn. Military takedown. Look’s like another Viet Nam. Children dyin’ in the street, someone’s breakin’ down the door. Look me in the eye, tell me what this killin’ is for.
