[03:36.18]That it keeps them in the pourin   rain
[03:38.61]Who  s to blame for tootin caine into your own vein
[03:41.11]What a shame, you shoot and aim for someone elses blame
[03:43.95]You claim the insane for this day
[03:45.39]And time for falling prey to crime
[03:46.66]I say the system  s got you victim to your own mind
