[Verse 1] Have you ever? Ever had to stand and just watch While your life was like a game on your x-box? Welcome to the club, I'm the president We're almost like a nation of fools Where public spending's cut down to naught We're clutching at invisible straws And no one's here to tell where they lead to How to tell us who's in [Chorus] Control I'm not in control I seem to be but no Our lives are a river where we Are swimming frantically Belly-up just trying to obtain control We fail to take control We fail to swim ashore It's all up in the air and I'd Much rather go down river Than go down like a lead ballon [Verse 2] The bottom's never the place to be Why not surf on the surface with me It's easy and won't ruin your make-up Don't bother with the deep end anymore I got happiness served on a plate for you That old bliss on a table for two And nothing in the water to weigh you down Just trow out all your [Chorus] [Bridge] I never claimed the answer But I know what it's not Let go and let in a little Modulation to lift you up [Chorus]
