City Out Of Control

Inside the canyons of glass and towering steel
The shadows and the footsteps that never stop to feel
The lights have changed from red to green
And yes I've changed my mind
I pick up the phone and tell someone
"Just get off my line"
Up on the corner, newsboys daily blues
Of love and life and accidents and passing stranger's views
The valet holds no heroes the dealer holds, he said
Sun goes down, the lights come up
The wheel turns in your head

You make connections, you win elections
That ain't gonna be enough

'Cause the city, is out of control
Yeah, the city, is out of control
It's the city, can't you hear it?
Crying, out of control

(Solo)

Running out of time, you know it
Put it on the line, it's loaded
Fear erodes, hate explodes
Can't hold back now, take your passion to the streets

Inside the canyons of glass and towering steel
The shadows and the footsteps that never stop to feel
The lights have changed from red to green
And yes I've changed my mind
I pick up the phone and tell someone
"Just get off my line"
Up on the corner, newsboys daily blues
Of love and life and accidents and passing stranger's views
The valet holds no heroes the dealer holds, he said
Sun goes down, the lights come up
The wheel turns in your head

You make connections, you win elections
That ain't gonna be enough

'Cause the city, is out of control
Yeah, the city, cryin' out of control
It's the city, can't you hear it?
Crying, out of control
City, out of control
City, out of control
