"Who's In Control" lyrics

British Sea Power Lyrics

"Who's In Control"

Were you not told?
Did you not know?
Everything around you's being sold
Do you not care?
Were you not there?
Everybody else was going spare
What's yours and mine?
Does this escape you all the time?
Sometimes I wish protesting was sexy on a Saturday night

Would you ever, would you ever go down, down, down
Down to fight, fight, point and stand, point and stand and fight?

Over here, over there, over here, every fucking where

I just don't know who's in control
Please, no, don't say, it could go either way

It's militant, not military, see we welcome everybody, we're not even scary
I'm a big fan of the local library, I just read a book but that's another story
Yours and mine they get mixed up all of the time
I wish sometimes protesting was sexy on a Saturday night

Would you ever, would you ever go down, down, down
Down to fight, fight, point and stand, point and stand and fight?

Over here, over there, over here, every fucking where

I'll never be, I'll never see, I'll never be what you want me to be

I just don't know who's in control
Please, no, don't say, it could go either way

Over here, over there, over here, every fucking where
Over here, over there, over here, every fucking where
I just don't know who's in control
Please, no, don't say, it could go either way
