[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
This is out of control
This is out of control
This is out of control
This is out of control
Now I'm selling my soul to control [?]
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
[Verse 2]
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
Forged from a [?] siege to my spirit

[Chorus]
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
This is out of control
This is out of control
This is out of control

[Bridge]
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?
