[Verse 1]

You walked in the room like it was some kind of movie

These kind of matters aren't worth disputing

And when the going gets rough, you get a bit sloppy

But it never really mattered, 'Cause you'll always land softly

[Chorus]

Call it what it is boy: systematic

Call it what it is boy: it's man-made

You can call it what it is now: it's a racket

Call it what it is

[Verse 2]

You didn't have the right men beside ya

No womanly voice heard for miles around ya

You had these lessons passed down, through generations

They've all gone bad now, they're spoiled, they're tainted

It's tainted!

[Chorus]

Call it what it is boy: systematic

Call it what it is boy: it's man-made

You can call it what it is now: it's a racket

Call it what it is

[Bridge]

You've got these peasants, quivering at your feet

Whispers, whispers they wish they could scream (Oh!)

Lover, we're surrounded, with nowhere to go

Lover, we're surrounded, with nowhere to go

[Chorus 3]

Call it what it is boy

Call it what it is boy

You can call it what it is boy

You can call it what it is

[Chorus]

Call it what it is boy: systematic

Call it what it is boy: it's man-made

You can call it what it is now: it's a racket

Call it what it is

[Outro]

Systematic

It's a racket

Call it what it is boy

Call it what it is boy

You can call it what it is now

Call it what it is
