Taking Control

This song is of course about somebody like a pushy leader or a monarch ect. taking control of the peoples lives and they've declared that they have had enough of the person taking advantage of them.

Quitesnooze --great :) this is an awesome song

loveeeeeee this song.

these lyrics have been changed a bit on their new album "combinations"

When we get down If we get down We'll get up again, we'll get up again And if we get down When we get down We'll get up again, we'll get up again And we won't take it when you won't take it, oh no

You've been taking control of our lives And you've been letting us go, ooh whooa, oohh whooaa You've been taking control of our lives And we wont take it when you wont take it, oh no

And if we get down How should we know if we'll get up again? We'll get up again. And we can take the right way out of here I'll be sure to show you again Then we won't take it when you won't take it, oh no.

You've been taking control of our lives And you've been letting us go, ooh whooa, oohh whooaa You've been taking control of our lives And we wont take it when you wont take it, oh no

ohh whooaa oohh whooaaaa ooohhhhhhh

I can't be the one to finally pull you out again, out again But we won't take it when you won't take it, oh no

You've been making a joke of our lives And you've been letting us go, ooh whooaa, oohh whooaa You've been taking control of our lives And you've been letting us go, ooh whooa, oohh whooaa You've been taking control of our lives And we wont take it when you wont take it, oh no.

You've been taking control of our lives And you've been letting us go, ooh whooa, oohh whooaa You've been taking control of our lives And you've been letting us go, oohh whooa, oohh whooaaa (I can't be the one to finally pull you out again, out again. No I can't be the one to finally pull you out again, out again)

lovee this song so I'm commenting again. We should stand by the White House and sing this song out loud ;)

I kinda listened to the song like a boyfriend in a relationship who is in a downward spiral (drugs, alcohol, self-abuse due to problems or whatever) and it is being reflected in the relationship as it is suffering because of it. The girlfriend is trying being positive and advising him to fight through it all with her help, but if he doesn't put in the effort, she won't be able to do anything and their relationship could surely crumble. But, the criticizing the current U.S. administration also sounds plausible to me, too.

my favorite song. =] the lyrics are self-explanatory
