Statecontrol
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.
I've been around the world I take credit for the things I've done.
I've done a lot of things and I just turned 21.
They tied me up put red tape around my hands.
I got caught in the web cause I didn't stand a chance.
I can't control the state I'm in - Go back in line and repeat it again.
I said "Please Mr. Doctor" won't you cure my disease.
I got a sore throat and I got scrubs on my knees.
No matter what I do I can't get it straight.
I tried to sort things out but I'm still stuck in the state.
I can't control the state I'm in - Go back in line and repeat it again.
Can't control the state I'm in - Go back in line repeat again.
I'm gonna lie, I'm gonna cheat.
I'm gonna follow their lead then skip a beat.
I'm gonna lie, I'm gonna cheat and if that don't do it I don't know what will.
I'm gonna lie I'm gonna cheat.
I'm gonna follow their lead then skip a beat. I'm gonna lie,
I'm gonna cheat.
I can't control the state I'm in - Go back in line and repeat it again.
