Control Songtext

von Jarle Bernhoft

Have you ever,
Ever had to stand and just watch
While your life was like a game on your Xbox

Welcome to the club I'm the president
We're almost like a nation of fools
Where public spending's cut down to naught
We're clutching at invisible straws
And no one's here to tell us
Where they lead to
Or to tell us who's in

Control
I'm not in control
Seem to be - but no
Our lives are on a river,
Where we are swimming frantically,
Belly-up just trying to obtain
Control
We fail to take control
We fail to swim ashore
It's all up in the air
And I'd much rather go down river
Then go down like a lead ballon

The bottom's never the place to be
Why not surf on the surface with me
It's easy and won't ruin your make-up
(wake up!)
Don't bother with the deep end anymore
I got happiness served on a plate for you
That old bliss on a table for two
And nothing in the water to weigh you down
Just throw out all your

Control I never claimed the answer
But I know what it's not
Let go and let in a little
Modulation to lift you up
