I Get Out - Live

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
