Lose Control: Sister Speak – feat The Brothers Burn (live)
Til they lose control
They lose control
They Lose control all over
Politicians call they’re fallen from the floor
In a world running dry off ethanol
With their terminator seeds you watch the stalks fall
You walk talk eat breathe but you can’t even sleep
Take your pills and pick your poison now
Watch the screen and feel your soul leach out.
They try to control your reactions and decisions your mind your life your dreams your visions.
Look what’s happening to a world run dry
We feed the full and let the hungry fight
Let’s find the realization of a functional nation
Not resources outsourced denial and separation
Can’t just walk away
It’s in our papers and our faces can’t talk it away.
What we can do is choose to love one another
With the power of choice let’s come together
Til they lose control (just lose it)
Lose control (just lose it)
Lose control all over x2

I’ve heard it so many times they must be outta their minds
I can’t believe he got elected man this should be a crime
Unless their pockets are fat not many are happy with times
Most of us have family and friends on the front lines
It’s crunch time for polichickens a.k.a. front time
Get in front of the camera read ya script lines
Cut that’s a wrap got ’em hook, line and sink
Nibblin’ on whatever is on the “news” this week
The picture they paint of the public, it’s quite sick
They’ve got us runnin’ for the carrot at the end of the stick, but
The time for action has long since passed
In the words of MLK we need to be free at last
Cuz I’m sick of the sad song sung the same way
Let’s rewrite it make a brand new day
I’m sick of inaction we say, say, say
Get up on ya feet let’s walk this way, say
– BURNS 1
‘Til they lose control (just lose it)
Til they lose control (just lose it)
Til they lose control all over
I pledge allegiance to the flag
Of a nation who puts innocent people in body bags
To the Republic, in which they force you to stand
Opposed to “inferior nations” for supply & demand
One nation, under the gun divided by greed
Liberty, justice, for none might as well bleed – to death
In the eyes of a systematic enterprise
Comprised of lies and one percent of human lives
It’s high time that we open our minds
And realize that the government commits these crimes
On a daily basis, changin’ faces,
Misplaced trust and currencies in distant places
They need to quit writin’ hot checks
Stop cheatin’ school kids and military vets
Instead switch focus and reshuffle your decks
‘Cause we comin’, royal flushin’, redistributin’ assets – BURNS 2
Til they lose control (just lose it)
Til they lose control (just lose it)
Til they lose control all over x2
In a selfish world with a helpless cure
Our minds stumble and crumble with meaningless words
Work drop feed this capitalistic dream
In God we trust, In God we bleed
Take your life back take your soul
Take it back til they lose control
Take your eyes back don’t play the fool
Take it back til they lose control
Take your eyes back don’t play the fool
Take it back til they lose control
Til they lose control (just lose it)
They lose control (just lose it)
They lose control all over x2
