Alive Without Control Lyrics - Singles - The Black Halos

just like rats in a concrete maze 

they all starve for the wage raise bait 

i'm dying to escape 

self made men with their plastic cash 

big talk plans and kissing ass 

just ain't my strategy 

uptown is gonna sell me 

downtown is gonna kill me 

uptown is gonna take me 

downtown i'm clenching to my soul 

uptown (oh) 

alive without control 

downtown (oh) 

alive without control 

uptown (oh) 

alive without control 

puppet shows from 9-5 

they dress up slaves in a suit and tie 

they're living to die 

follow the leader not your heart 

simon says boy you'll go far 

like lemmings in the dark 

uptown is gonna sell me 

downtown is gonna kill me 

uptown is gonna take me 

downtown i'm clenching to my soul 

uptown (oh) 

alive without control 

downtown (oh) 

alive without control 

uptown (oh) 

alive without control 

i said uptown is gonna sell me 

downtown is gonna kill me 

uptown is gonna take me 

(oh no) i'm clenching to my soul 

uptown 

uptown (oh) 

alive without control 

downtown (oh) 

alive without control 

uptown (oh) 

alive without control 

uptown 

alive without control 

downtown 

alive without control 

uptown 

alive without control
