Lyrics

I get out I get out of all your boxes I get out You can't hold me in these chains I'll get out Father, free me from this bondage Knowin' my condition is the reason I must change Your stinkin' resolution is no type of solution Preventin' me from freedom Maintainin' your pollution I won't support your lie no more, I won't even try no more If I have to die, oh Lord, that's how I choose to live I won't be compromised no more, I can't be victimised no more I just don't sympathize no more 'Cause now I undertand, you just wanna use me You say love then abuse me You never thought you'd lose me But how quickly we forget That nothing is for certain You thought I'd stay here hurting Your guilt trips just not working repressing me to death 'Cause now I'm choosing life yo I'll take the sacrafice yo If everything must go then go, that's how I choose to live Ok, we gettin' here At least I had a chunk Ok it's how I choose to live No more compromises I see past your disguises Blinding me through mind control Stealing my eternal soul Appealing through material, to keep me as your slave But I'll get out I get out of all your boxes I get out Oh you can't hold me in these chains I get out Oh I want out of social bondage Knowing my condition is the reason I must change See what you see is what you get, oh and you ain't seen nothing yet Oh I don't care if you're upset, I could care less if you're upset See it don't change the truth And your hurt feelings no excuse To keep me in this box, psychological locks Repressing true expression, cementing this repression Promoting mass deception, so that no one can be healed I don't respect your system I won't protect your system When you talk I don't listen, Oh let my fathers will be done And just get out Just get out of all this bondage Just get out Oh you can't hold me in these chains Just get out Of these traditions killing freedom Knowing my condition is the reason I must change I just accepted what you said Keeping me among the dead The only way to know Is to walk then learn then grow But faith is not your speed Oh you'd have everyone believe That you're the sole authority Just follow the majority Afraid to face reality The system is a joke Oh you'd be smart to save your soul, and escape this mind control You spend your life in sacrifice to a system for the dead Oh are you sure, where's the passion in this living Are you sure it's God you're serving Obligated to a system, getting less than you're deserving Who made up these schools I say Who made up these rules I say Animal conditioning, just to keep us as a slave Just get out Of this social purgatory Just get out Oh these traditions are a lie Just get out Superstition killing freedom Knowing my condition is the reason I must die Just get out, just get out, just get out, just get out, just get out Knowing my condition is the reason I must die Just get out
