Lyrics
Who's In Control?
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh, were you not told
Do you not know
Everything around you is being sold
Do you not care?
Were you not there?
Everybody else was going spare
What's yours and mine
Does this escape you all the time?
Sometimes I wish
Protesting was sexy on a Saturday night
So would you ever, would you ever
Go down, down, down, down
Fight, fight, point and stand
Point and stand and fight
Over here
Over there
Over here
Every-f*cking-where
I just don't know
Who's in control
Please, no, don't say
It could go either way
It's militant
Not military
See we welcome everybody
We're not even scary
I'm a big fan
Of the local library
I just read a book
But that's another story
Yours and mine
They get mixed up all of the time
I wish sometimes
Protesting was sexy on a Saturday night
So would you ever, would you ever
Go down, down, down, down
Fight, fight, point and stand
Point and stand and fight
Over here
Over there
Over here
Every-f*cking-where
I'll never be
I'll never see
I'll never be
What you want me to be
I just don't know
Who's in control
Please, no, don't say
It could go either way
Over here
Over there
Over here
Every-f*cking-where
Over here
Over there
Over here
Every-f*cking-where
I just don't know
Who's in control
Please, no, don't say
It could go either way
