City Out Of Control

inside the canyons of glass and towering steel

the shadows and the footsteps that never stop to feel

the lights have changed from red to green

and yes i've changed my mind

i pick up the phone and yell at someone

"just get off my line!"

Up on the corner, newsboys daily blues

of love and life and accidents and passing strangers' views.

the valet holds no heroes, "the dealer holds" he said,

sun goes down, the lights come up,

the wheel turns in y'r head

You make connections, you win elections,

That ain't gonna be enough!

'Cause the city is out of control

yeah the city is out of control

it's the city, can't you hear it

Crying-out of control

Running out of time-you know it

Put it on the line-It's loaded

Fear erodes, hate explodes

can't hold back now, take your passions to the streets.
