lyrics

VERSE

HOLD YOUR OWN, OR BE OWNED, BY THE HIGHER AUTHORITY,
LET IT BE KNOWN, THAT THE RESISTANCE IS ON THE INCREASE,
WHO NEEDS LABOUR AND TORES YEAH, WHEN WE HAVE OUR OWN MIND,
ALWAYS THE SAME OLD STORY, IT'S TIME TO LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE, YEAH.

CHORUS

WE GOTTA TAKE CONTROL OF THE SITUATION, WHILE WE CAN,
WE GOTTA TAKE CONTROL OF THE SITUATION, NOW WE HAVE IT IN OUR HANDS,
GOTTA TAKE CONTROL OF THE SITUATION, WHILE WE CAN,
WE GOTTA TAKE CONTROL OF THE SITUATION, OH NO.

VERSE

I'M THE MAN WITH THE FALSE ACCUSATION, BUT A MODERN WARFARE WAS NOT MY INTENTION, SEE,
MORE CRIME, MORE DESPERATION, WILL ONLY LEAD TO DESTRUCTION,
SO TELL ME NOW (WHERE DO WE LOOK FOR ANSWERS?)
WHERE DO WE LOOK FOR ANSWERS (WHERE DO WE LOOK FOR ANSWERS?),
I SEE, MORE CRIME, MORE DESPERATION IT'LL ONLY LEAD TO DESTRUCTION.

CHORUS

WE GOTTA TAKE CONTROL OF THE SITUATION, WHILE WE CAN,
WE GOTTA TAKE CONTROL OF THE SITUATION, NOW WE HAVE IT IN OUR HANDS,
GOTTA TAKE CONTROL OF THE SITUATION, WHILE WE CAN,
WE GOTTA TAKE CONTROL OF THE SITUATION, OH NOO.

VERSE

A MODERN WAR WAS, NOT OUR INTENTION,
SO LET US UNITE YEAH, NATION WITH NATION,
WHY CAN'T YOU SEE,
WHY CAN'T YOU SEE YEAH, YEAH, AHH NO.

MIDDLE 8

NA NA NA NA WOOAH, OO WOAH, OOH WOAH,
NA NA NA NA WOOAH, OO WOAH, OOH WOAH.
OH LORD.

CHORUS

WE GOTTA TAKE CONTROL OF THE SITUATION, WHILE WE CAN,
WE GOTTA TAKE CONTROL OF THE SITUATION, NOW WE HAVE IT IN OUR HANDS,
GOTTA TAKE CONTROL OF THE SITUATION, WHILE WE CAN,
WE GOTTA TAKE CONTROL OF THE SITUATION, OH NOW YEAH.
