Lyrics

once upon a time my friends,
a thing came that's here again,
and it's outta control
and words won't make it go away

see, it's up to us my friends,
to change how this whole mess ends,
'cause it's outta contol
and words won't make it go away

Words are what they used
to do the things that they have done
Words are things on paper
that make people pick up guns
Words are nothing more than tools
they use to build their lies
Words are what they tell themselves
so they can sleep at night
Words are how they justify
the pain that they inflict
Words are how they strip away
the cures from all the sick
Words are how the newsman
puts a spin on everything
Words are things in songs
that never change a god damned thing

that's what I think

They always find a new disguise
in scapegoats and alibies
and it's outta control
and words won't make it go away

So everybody gather 'round
in all the cities and all the towns
'til it's outta control
'cause words won't make it go away
