The man is evil
But he's the evil you know
You gave him power
But it's too much to hold
He's got to have it all for himself
And methods don't matter
Nor does anything else
I can use what doesn't kill me
I can get what I need
I'm getting off on giving orders
And issuing decrees
But shotgun politics don't work for sure
And it falls through his hands
As he reaches for more

Out of control: Another power play
Out of control: The game is underway
Out of control: Nothing gets in the way
Of another power play

It's cloak and dagger
Some boys just do it for fun
Every shadow has an interest
Everybody's got a gun
It's all wine and dine secrecy
But there's one small problem
For the powers that be
Some folks won't bend and break
Just because they've been told
They rise up form the gutters
Taking aim and grabbing hold
Nobody's sinking down the rivers they've been sold
Desperation, escalation
Now it's out of control

Out of control: Another power play
Out of control: The game is underway
Out of control: Nothing gets in the way
Of another power play

One person's crazy dream
One small, unfortunate scene
One bullet to change the world around me

Out of control: Another power play
Out of control: The game is underway
Out of control: Nothing gets in the way
Of another power play
