No man is evil, but he's the evil you know
He gave you power, but it's too much to hold
He's got to have it all for himself
And if it's done right, I thought there's anything else
I can use that doesn't kill me
I can get what I need, I'm getting up
I'm giving orders and issuing decrees
Shotgun politics don't work for sure
And it falls through his hands as he reaches for more
Out of control, another power play
Out of control, the game is out of your way
Out of control, nothing gets you the way
Of another power play
It's called vendetta, some might just do it for fun
Every shadow has an interest, everybody's got a gun
It's all winding down secrecy
But there's one small problem for the powers that be
Some folks won't let him breathe just because of his tone
And eyes up from in front of us, taking aim and grabbing hold
Nobody's sinking, now the river's thinking so
Desperation, escalation, now it's out of control
Out of control, another power play
Out of control, the game is out of your way
Out of control, nothing gets you the way
Of another power play
One person's prayers be dreaming
One small unfortunate scene
One fool needs to change the world around him
One person's prayers be dreaming
One small unfortunate scene
One fool needs to change the world around him
One person's prayers be dreaming
One small unfortunate scene
One fool needs to change the world around him
Out of control, another power play
Out of control, the game is out of your way
Out of control, nothing gets you the way
Of another power play
Out of control, it's out of control
Out of control, yeah, it's out of control
Out of control
Out of control
Out of control
Out of control
Out of control
