The Hives › Lyrics › Statecontrol

I've been around the world
Take credit for the things I've done
I've done a lot of things
And I just turned, 21
They tied me up
Put red tape around my hands
I got caught in the web
'Cause I didn't stand a chance

I, can't control
The state I'm in
(Go back in line)
(And repeat it again)
Can't control
The state I'm in
(Go back in line)
(And repeat it again)

I said, "Please Mr. Doctor
Would you cure my disease?
I got a sore throat
And I got scrubs on my knees"
No matter what I do
I can't get it straight
I tried to sort things out
But I'm still stuck in the state

Can't control
The state I'm in
(Go back in line)
(And repeat it again)
Can't control
The state I'm in
(Go back in line)
(Repeat again)

I'm gonna lie, I'm gonna cheat
I'm gonna follow their lead then skip a beat
I'm gonna lie, I'm gonna cheat
And if that don't do it
I don't know what will
I'm gonna lie, I'm gonna cheat
I'm gonna follow their lead then skip a beat
I'm gonna lie, I'm gonna cheat

Can't control
The state I'm in
(Go back in line)
(And repeat it again)
Can't control
The state I'm in
(Go back in line)
(And repeat it again)

Can't control
The state I'm in
(Go back in line)
(And repeat it again)
Can't control
The state I'm in
