Okay, so the song is a blast from the past (early 80's, I think) and the video is cheesy, but the lyrics are awesome; you just can't beat 'em. Pardon the pun.
Oh, on a side note, guess what I got for Father's Day...! You will never guess.
Anyhow, enjoy the movie and the song and the lyrics; I think that despite their age it is a poignant song and it has been a source of encouragement for me lately. And no, I am not THAT old; I think I was four when this song hit the charts!
Beat the System by
Petra
Caught in the undertow being swept downstream
Going against the flow seems like such a dream
Trying to hold your ground when you start to slide
Pressure to compromise comes from every side
Wise up, rise up
(Chorus) You can be more than a conqueror, you will never face defeat
You can dare to win by losing all, you can face the heat - dare to
Beat the System
On the assembly line trying to break the mold
Time to throw the wrench that will stop it cold
Going against the odds being the underdog
Dare to wield the sword that will slice the fog
You can go for it all
You can go for broke
You can turn the tide around
You can aim for the top
And take the lion's share
If you dare to hold your ground

Yo quiero that song!
Pretty cool song, eh? And in the video, I dig the gnarly 80's hairdos that all the Petra members are sporting. Radical!
Of course, some say that the best thing about the 80's was 1990. Who am I to judge? I was 9 when the eighties were over.
What did you get for Father's Day?
A tie? JK
Nope....
a typewriter!! I'm stoked. I had to work on it a bit to get it going, but it's going all right! I've been having fun... too much fun.
