Array ( [sid] => 39998 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Take Control [time] => 2004-03-24 02:06:10 [hometext] => Wrote this in reference to the current World events and everday life... would be set to an aggressive sound... [bodytext] =>
In a world of no hope
Strung along by a rope
A rope, a noose
The government
The lack of truth
The L the I the E the S
Today we live in this mess
But what can we do?
Is it up to me?
Is it up to you?

CHORUS:
We gotta take control!
Stand up and revolt!
We gotta take control!
Before we lose all hope!
We gotta take control!
Take control don't wait your turn!
We gotta take control!
If we don't take control, this land will burn!

So who's to blame?
The cross or the flag?
Choked quiet by the feds
We all begin to gag
What will the future bring
If there actually is one
Do it for yourself
For this land, it's begun

CHORUS

The decisions we make
Create the next generation
What will they do?
What will be left of our nations
Who will take control
Who will make a difference?
Now all we need is someone to take the chance

CHORUS

They try and keep you in line
A line you try and define
Sit back in your seat
Shut the curtains or stay blind
How long til it's time?
When is it gonna be?
Looks like it's gotta be now
It has to be you and me

***** Governmental Power
***** Control
***** the leaders
***** Capitalism
***** War

Stand up and Fight Back!
Stand up and Fight Back!
Stand up and Fight Back!
Cuz someone's gotta pick up the slack!

I could hear RATM(Rage Against The Machine) or SOAD (System Of A Down) performing a song like this.

May I recommend you look at one of mine on this site called Peace Over War
