Out Of Control Lyrics

Fast and cheap
Ninja jihad
Suck my Oil
Feel my vineyard

I am scum
You are scum
Bus has gone
Bye so long
We are scum
We are scum
Bus has gone
Overrun and

Out of control
Out of control
Out of control
Out of control

Holy wars
Phantom Power
Phantom lies
On the hour

We are one kind
Bear it in mind
We are one kind
Bear it in mind
We are one kind
Bear it in mind
We are one kind
Unrefined and

Out of control
Out of control
Out of control
Out of control
Out of control
Out of control
Out of control
Out of control

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Probably the least-inspired of all their songs, it's still pretty good sounding. Blatantly obvious that it's abou the middle-east.

Somehow I feel that he's critisizing both the east and the west ("I am scum, you are scum, we are scum") and feels that the whole situation is "out of control". I always thought that the phantom power was about what goes on in the backround ,,, like surveilance or the plotting of a bomb strike. And the phantom lies could be the motivation for the war either side. Like.. Americas involvenment in Iraq or Alqaidas 'goals' or whatever. It's pretty vague as is my interprepreprpation
