OUT OF CONTROL



   
 

Stan's got blood in his eye
    His foot is on the gas
He's rollin' down the highway
    Ya better not try to pass
He's a madman on wheels
    Drivin' an old sedan
Road rage is in his heart
    And he's gonna
    And he's gonna
    And he's gonna kill ya if he can

Stan is out of control
    Ragin' out of control
 

Bob's stomach is growling
    He orders fries and a Big Mac
He's armed and dangerous
    Got a gun in a sack
Been treated like a dog
    Wants to show he's a man
He's pissed as hell
    And he's gonna
    And he's gonna
    And he's gonna kill 'em all if he can

Bob is out of control
    Ragin' out of control
 

Joe lives in the mountains
    In a shack in the pines
He doesn't know people
    But he can read minds
Sends bombs in the mail
    To those he don't understand
He's sure he's right
    And he's gonna
    And he's gonna
    And he's gonna kill anybody he can

Joe is out of control
    Ragin' out of control
 

They got their hand on the phone
    Finger on the trigger
They want what they want
    And they'll show ya who's bigger
A corporation's a person
    And money is the Man
They're sure might is right
    And ya know they're gonna
    Ya know they're gonna
    Ya know they're gonna kill us if they can

They're out of control
    Ragin' out of control
