Danny Elfman
Perfect System
[Verse 1]
I'm in love with you, I know
And I know that you love me, too
I'm in love with you, I know
I'm in love with everyone, too
We're all comrades now, you know
We're all brothers under the skin
With a few adjustments, now
Living in the perfect system
[Pre-Chorus 1]
The adjustment's simple
There's really no pain
You'll hardly notice
Anything has changed
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Living in a programmed life never
Really has ups and downs
There's no need for fighting now
There's no reason to wear a frown
[Chorus]
In a perfect system
There's no confrontation
Unnecessary friction
To impede our concentration
We've simply done away with
Unnecessary friction
I live in a system
I got an occupation
I get enough nutrition
By eating protein biscuits
Recommended by the system
It's routine regulation
I had an operation....
[Verse 3]
I'm in love with you, I know
And I know that you love me, too
I'm in love with you, I know
I'm in love with everyone, too
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I can tell by the look
In your blank, dull eyes
That you agree
But I'm not a bit surprised
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Living in a programmed life never
Really has ups and downs
There's no need for fighting now
There's no reason to wear a frown
[Chorus]
I had an operation
With no adverse reaction
They tampered with my brain some
It helped me see the reason
For living in the system
It helped me see the reason
[Bridge]
(We're all brothers in a perfect world)
In a perfect world, there's uniformity
(We're all brothers in a perfect world)
In a perfect world, there's continuity
(We're all brothers in a perfect world)
There's no need for spontaneity
Perfect system; we're all brothers to the end
Brothers to the end
Brothers to the end
[Outro]
I know, and I know that you love me, too
(Brothers to the end)
I know I'm in love with everyone, too
(Brothers to the end)
I know we're all comrades under the skin
(Brothers to the end)
I know, living in a perfect system
Brothers to the end!
