[Singing Chorus]
I get out, I get out of all your boxes
I get out, you can´t hold me in these chains
I´ll get out
Father free me from this bondage
Knowin´ my condition
Is the reason I must change
[Verse 1]
Your stinkin´ resolution
Is no type of solution
Preventin´ me from freedom
Maintainin´ your polution
I won´t support your lie no more
I won´t even try no more
If I have to die, oh Lord
That´s how I choose to live
I won´t be compromised no more
I can´t be victimised no more
I just don´t sympathize no more
Cuz now I understand
You just wanna use me
You say "love" then abuse me
You never thought you´d loose me
But how quickly we forget
That nothin´ is for certain
You thought I´d stay here hurtin´
Your guilt trip´s just not workin´
Repressin´ me to death
Cuz now I´m choosin´ life, yo
I take the sacrifice, yo
If everything must go, then go
That´s how I choose to live
[Pause]
[Singing rest of Verse 1]
That´s how I choose to live...
Hehehehe, awhh
No more compromises
I see past your diguises
Blindin´ through mind control
Stealin´ my eternal soul
Appealin´ through material
To keep me as your slave
[Singing Chorus]
But I get out
Oh, I get out of all your boxes
I get out
Oh, you can´t hold me in these chains
I´ll get out
Oh, I want out of social bondage
Knowin´ my condition
Oh, is the reason I must change
[Singing Verse 2]
See, what you see is what you get
Oh, and you ain´t seen nothin´ yet
Oh, I don´t care if you´re upset
I could care less if you´re upset
See it don´t change the truth
And your hurt feeling´s no excuse
To keep me in this box
Psychological locks
Repressin´ true expression
Cementin´ this repression
Promotin´ mass deception
So that no one can be healed
I don´t respect your system
I won´t protect your system
When you talk I don´t listen
Oh, let my Father´s will be done
[Singing Chorus]
And just get out
Oh, just get out of all these bondage
Just get out
Oh, you can´t hold me in chains
Just get out
All these traditions killin´ freedom
Knowin´ my condition
Is the reason I must change
[Singing Verse 3]
I´ve just accepted what you said
Keepin´ me among the dead
The only way to know
Is to walk then learn and grow
But faith is not your speed
Oh, you´ve had everyone believed
That you´re the sole authority
Just follow the majority
Afraid to face reality
The system is a joke
Oh, you´d be smart to save your soul
Oh, when escape is mind control
You spent your life in sacrifice
To a system for the dead
Oh, are you sure...
Where is the passion in this living
Are you sure it´s God you servin´
Obligated to a system
Getting less then you´re deserving
Who made up these schools, I say
Who made up these rules, I say
Animal conditioning
Oh, just to keep us as a slave
[Singing Chorus]
Oh, just get out
Of this social (?)
Just get out
All these traditions are alive
Just get out
Superstition killing freedom
Knowin´ my condition
Is the reason I must die
Just get out
Just get out
Just get out
Let´s get out
Let´s get out
Knowin´ my condition
Is the reason I must die
Just get out
I get out, I get out of all your boxes
I get out, you can´t hold me in these chains
I´ll get out

Knowin´ my condition
