The wrong way (Out of control)
© Ronn Van Etten 2014


Out of control. Out of control. We’re getting out of control.
Left or right, it really doesn’t matter.
Black or white don’t make the things better.
We’re getting out of control.

Because of:
All the shouting, all the hatred. All the conclusions drawn too fast.
All the mischief, all the publicity. All the opinions make the wrong things last.

We’re reacting the wrong way. We act in the wrong play.
We’re growing more and more misunderstanding.

We don’t listen to others. We don’t seem to bother.
We’re drifting away more and more towards no ending.

Out of control. Out of control. We’re getting out of control.
Left or right, it really doesn’t matter.
Black or white don’t make the things better.
We’re getting out of control.

Because of:
All the wrong words, all the wrong cursing
All the opinions that are one sided, black or white, not helping a bit.
All the name calling, all the bad tone, appalling
All the narrow mindedness that increases this shift

We’re reacting the wrong way. We act in the wrong play.
We’re growing more and more misunderstanding.

We don’t listen to others. We don’t seem to bother.
We’re drifting away more and more towards no ending.

All the shouting, all the hatred. (out of control)
All the conclusions drawn too fast.
All the mischief, the publicity, the opinions
make the wrong things last. (out of control) (out of control)

All the wrong words, all the cursing (out of control)
All the opinions that are one sided, black/white,
not helping a bit (out of control)
The name-calling, the shouting, the bad tones
The narrow-mindedness (out of control)
The conclusions and all this shift … (out of control)
The naming, the shaming,… (out of control)
Cursing … (out of control) … doesn’t help! …
All the mischief … the wrong publicity …(out of control)
Opinions, opinions, opinions make the wrong things last … (out of control)
One sided, black or white … all … wrong.
