Out of Control

Jack Hardy

[Verse 1]
Well, you don't have to run away to join the circus
The circus is right here and it swallowed you whole
You don't have to fake a fall to make us nervous
By drinking from a empty bowl
But that tightrope walk is just danger on the take
And it's a lot more safe than bein' burned at the stake
Those crocodile tears are just a little bit lake
You've got your net if you lose control

[Chorus]
Out of control, out of control
Cast your fate to the wind
Tie your saints to their sins
You know you're never gonna win
'Til you're out of control

[Verse 2]
Well, they'rе handin' away free tickets for the show
They'rе payin' off reporters and people in the know
The bandwagon's rollin' in a screen of smoke
The emperor has definitely got his new clothes
But his story got borin' the second time around
And the crowds stayed home when the rains fell down
His fame faded quiet without no sound
You know that nature was what they could not control

[Chorus]
Out of control, out of control
Cast your fate to the wind
Tie your saints to their sins
You know you're never gonna win
'Til you're out of control

[Verse 3]
Well, Saint Joseph and Mary at the end of their rope
Dreamin' sacrilegious messages to send to the pope
Resistance not submission is our only hope
You know that faith can take its toll
Rememberin' a time when another child was born
No means of support or time to warn
No conception of what it means to be torn
When your father says you are out of control

[Chorus]
Out of control, out of control
Cast your fate to the wind
Tie your saints to their sins
You know you're never gonna win
'Til you're out of control

[Verse 4]
Well, the freedom fighter is fakin' his friendship
With a fifty-state waltz of ethnic roles
Foundin' his fortune on faces called hip
Who know that he's ahead in the polls
But somethin' is missing in that down-home smile
Like Judas kissin' babies ahead of his trial
And the grass-roots religion ain't a martyr to style
You know the vote is what they cannot control

[Chorus]
Out of control, out of control
Cast your fate to the wind
Tie your saints to their sins
You know you're never gonna win
'Til you're out of control

[Verse 5]
Well, the pagan rain falls out in left field
Red hair and hotdogs and a wounded goal
It was the last of the ninth in the early summer heat
Before the factory claimed his soul
And those aching voices vasectomizin' dreams
Cut off from visions with midnight screams
Banishing blessings like a wounded priest
When his life fell out of their control

[Chorus]
Out of control, out of control
Cast your fate to the wind
Tie your saints to their sins
You know you're never gonna win
'Til you're out of control

[Verse 6]
Well, the animal uncaged in a rat-black coat
In a typewriter romance with eyes like coal
Finding his fortune in a rainbow boat
Alchemist treason for his pot of gold
"I am with you." he cried as if he just made up his mind
The reluctant reaper is shakin' with desire
But tomorrow is loose on a horizon of fire
I would pay you but I lost control

[Chorus]
Out of control, out of control
Cast your fate to the wind
Tie your saints to their sins
You know you're never gonna win
'Til you're out of control
Out of control, out of control
Cast your fate to the wind
Tie your saints to their sins
You know you're never gonna win
'Til you're out of control
Out of control, out of control
Cast your fate to the wind
Tie your saints to their sins
You know you're never gonna win
'Til you're out of control
Out of control, out of control
Cast your fate to the wind
