Lyrics
I can't keep my mind on one thing
Now my attention has spread thin
Like a slice of butter on my slab of toast
First thing in the morning
If I start a sentence, can't be sure I'll finish
You slant my words, you just disappear and diminish
I need something to watch but I stare at the image
And deliberate if I want my film to be British
This is out of control
This is out of control
This is out of control
This is out of control
Am I selling my soul to a toad in a hole
Yeah, it's out of control
Yeah, it's out of control
This is out of control
This is out of control
This is out of control
This is out of control
This is out of control
This is out of control
This is out of control
This is out of control
When I start the meeting, better take the minutes
And not put down my pen until I say that I'm finished
Is it any wonder I've grown up a cynic
False promises laying siege to my spirit
This is out of control
This is out of control
This is out of control
This is out of control
I don't want to be bold, but
This is out of control
This is out of control
This is out of control
Now my back's against the wall
And I've signed up for the war
How'd it get so out of control?
Will I rise or will I fall?
Can I find some time to grow?
How'd it get so out of control?
