about
"Systematic" is the second single from Luan Bates' upcoming album "Nothing Left to Say", due to release in early September.
It approaches the way common people relate to time and how this time is actually set by other people in society, particularly in his homeland Brazil.
The track is also accompanied by a collage-themed lyric video, mixing studio takes with stock footage, setting the chaotic tone of the record.
lyrics
We are programmed
We are programmed
We are the ones who'll make you feel alright
We are the ones who'll make your work out right
So just be sure that what you think it's right
It has never been right at all
Future is problematic
Future is compassion
Future is problematic
Future is sympathetic
We are the critics
We are the critics
We are the ones who'll make you get over it
We are the ones who'll make you burst anything
So make sure that the present you're in
It's the good and old time origin
Tomorrow is not post-dated
Tomorrow is never written
Cause future is systematic
Future is problematic
Present is our origin! Sanity is uselessness!
Present is our origin! Sanity is uselessness!
Future is systematic
Future is copacetic
Future is sympathetic
Future is problematic
Future is systematic
Future is post-dated
Future is sympathetic
Future is problematic
Pathetic
