Control

Control - Bernhoft/Jarle Bernhoft

Have you ever

Ever had to stand and just watch

While your life was like

A game on your x-box

Welcome to the club

I'm the president (incumbent)

We're almost like a nation of fools

Where public spending's

Cut down to naught

We're clutching at invisible straws

And noone's here to tell where they lead to

Who's to tell us who's in

Control

I'm not in control

I seem to be but no

Our lives are a river where we

Are swimming frantically

Belly-up just trying to obtain

Control

We fail to take control

Fail to swim ashore

It's all up in the air and I'd

Much rather go down river

Than go down like a lead balloon

The bottom's never the place to be

Why not surf on the surface with me

It's easy and won't

Ruin when your make-up (wake up)

Don't bother with the deep end anymore

I got happiness served on a plate for you

That old bliss on a table for two

Nothing in the water to weigh you down

Just throw out all your

Control

I'm not in control

I seem to be but no (no control)

Our lives are a river where we

Are swimming frantically

Belly-up just trying to obtain

Control

We fail to take control

Fail to swim ashore

It's all up in the air and I'd

Much rather go down river

Than go down like a lead balloon

I never claimed the answer

But I know what it's not

Let go and let in a little

Modulation to lift you up

I'm not in control

I seem to be but no

Our lives are a river where we

Are swimming frantically

Belly-up just trying to obtain

Control

We fail to take control

Fail to swim ashore

It's all up in the air and I'd

Much rather go down river
