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?
