Intro

Bm F#m * x2

Chorus

Bm F#m *
I get out. I get out of all your boxes.
Bm F#m *
I’ll get out, you can't hold me in these chains.
Bm F#m *
I get out. Father free me from this bondage.
Em F#m *
Knowing my condition, is the reason I must change.

Verse

Your stinking resolution, is no type of solution.
Preventing me from freedom, maintaining your pollution.
I won't support your lie no more, I won't even try no more.
Oh If I have to die oh lord, that's how I choose to live.
Em F#m *
I won't be compromised no more, I can't be victimized no more.
Em F#m *
I just don't sympathize no more, cause now I understand.
You just want to use me, you say love, then abuse me.
You never thought you'd lose me, but how quickly we forget.
Em F#m *
That nothing is for certain. You thought I'd stay here hurtin.
Em F#m *
Your guilt trips just not working. Repressing me to death.
Cause now I'm choosing life yo, I'll take the sacrifice yo.
Em F#m *
If everything must go then go, That's how I chose to live.

Bridge

Em F#m *
No more comprises. I see past your disguises.
Em F#m *
Blinding me through mind control. Stealing my eternal soul.
Em F#m *
Appealing through material. To keep me as your slave.

Chorus

Bm F#m *
But I get out, oh I get out of all of your boxes
Bm F#m *
I get out. Oh you can't hold me in these chains,
Bm F#m *
I'll get out. Oh I want out of social bondage.
Em F#m *
Knowing my condition oh is the reason I must change.
See what you see is what you get. oh and you ain't seen nothing yet.
Oh, I don't care if you're upset. I could care less if you're upset.
Em F#m *
See you don't change the truth. And your hurt feelings no excuse.
Em F#m *
To keep me in this box. Psychological locks.
Em F#m *
Repressing true expression. Cementing this repression.
Em F#m *
Promoting 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 Fathers will be done.

Verse

Bm F#m *
And just get out, Oh just get out of all this bondage.
Bm F#m *
Just get out, oh you can't hold me in these chains.
Bm F#m *
Just get out. All these traditions killing freedom.
Em F#m *
Knowing my condition, is the reason I must change.

Verse

I just accepted what you said. Keeping me among the dead.
The only way to know. Is to walk then learn and grow.
Em F#m *
But faith is not your speed. You'd have everyone believe.
Em F#m *
That you're the sole authority. Just follow the majority.
Em F#m *
Afraid to face reality. The system is a joke.
You'd be smart to save your soul. And escape this mind control.
You spend your life in sacrifice. To a system for the dead.
Em F#m *
Oh are you where's the passion in this living. Are you sure it's God you're serving.
Em F#m *
Obligated to a system. Getting less than you're deserving.
Who made up these schools I say. Who made up these rules I say.
Animal conditioning just to keep us as a slave.

Chorus

Bm F#m *
Oh just get out. Of this social purgatory.
Bm F#m *
Just get out. All these traditions are a lie.
Bm F#m *
Just get out. Superstition killing freedom,
Em F#m *
Knowing my condition, is the reason I must die.
Just get out, just get out, just get out, lets get out, lets get out,
Knowing my condition is the reason I must die.
