[Verse 1]
I see it on the TV, it's playing on my mind
Everything I see has got something to do with killing my brother
Just another mind game? Or maybe it's a sign
When the child with a gun holds it up to the head of his brother

[Chorus]
Well, that ain't nice
Gotta get a grip, gotta get a hold on life
Gotta get a grip 'cause you're gonna slip, yeah

[Verse 2]
Somebody tell me, where did we lose?
Where's the point that we lost the control to live with each other?
Mister politician, searching for a lie
What's the truth? Will the youth find the proof for a revolution?

[Chorus]
'Cause that ain't nice
Gotta get a grip, gotta get a hold on life
Gotta get a grip 'cause you're gonna slip on ice
Gotta get a grip, gotta get a hold on life
Gotta get a grip 'cause you're gonna slip

[Post-Chorus]
Gotta get a hold on the situation, gotta get you into my life
Gotta get a hold and get it moving
I can't tell you what you need to know
It's up to you, oh yeah
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
That ain't nice
Gotta get a grip, gotta get a hold on life
Gotta get a grip 'cause you're gonna slip on ice
Gotta get a grip, gotta get a hold on life
Gotta get a grip 'cause you're gonna slip

[Post-Chorus]
Gotta get a hold on the situation, gotta get a hold on life
Gotta get a grip and get it moving
I can't tell you what you need to know
It's up to you, oh yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Here we go
Don't your blood run cold? Don't the sorrow show?
Hold on tight to what you have
See it in your eyes, don't it make you cry?
Get a grip and shake the can
Get a grip, yeah, get a grip, yeah, get a grip, yeah
Get a grip, get a grip, get a grip, get a grip, get a hold
Get a grip on life, get a grip on life, get a grip on life
Yeah get a grip
