Out Of Control Lyrics - Waterboys

I was on Grand Street when I heard a woman cry 

turned to see a young boy with his head held high 

He was screaming abuse at everything and nothing 

wasn't more than seventeen years old 

Waving a pistol, blew himself to heaven 

I guess he just exploded out of control

Minding my own business 

playing social snakes and ladders 

There's a knock on my door 

the military mad-hatter 

He says someone pressed a button 

only got about 8 minutes 

To get myself and my family into some underground hole 

where we can sit and play twenty questions 

Whilst our leaders invent answers 

it seems the whole world just exploded out of control! 

You sit on your side 

and I'll sit on mine 

Used to have such grand plans 

now we can't afford the time 

It may seem pretty arrogant 

but words may be heart fire 

Photos 

Deep inside I'm freezing cold 

sorry that I beat you 

Sorry that I screamed 

for a moment there I really lost control
