Everyone says sooner or later you’ll reach the end of the line When things get rough some think it’s easy to jump the ship . . . You decide
I say--don’t throw it away There’s about a million reasons why Though you’ve heard them all before And you’re getting very tired Lay your head on my lap and I’ll sing you this lullaby
CHORUS Don’t you know That everyone around you Has felt the pain you feel today You’re out of control yeah--and you want someone to tell you When you wake up in the morning it’ll only be a dream You’re out of control . . .
There’s a cloud-rollin’ overhead and it seems to rain on no one else There’s a black sun--casting a black shadow, and I know you feel so all alone You’re out of control--and you want the world to love you Or maybe you just want a chance to let them know That you live and breathe and suffer And your back is in the corner and you’ve got nowhere to go
Nothin’ for nothin’--everything’s right at your fingertips--for a price Who ever said that life on this planet would ever be paradise I say--don’t throw it away, you’ve got too many things to say If you throw your life, if you throw away your life . . . THe world will never be the same
CHORUS
You’re out of control--and you move without direction And people look right through your soul You’re out of control--and you want someone to tell you When you wake up in the morning it’ll only be a dream And I wish that I could tell you, it’ll only be a dream
