Gotta Get a Grip

Gotta get a grip

Beat it with a stick

Gotta get a grip

Shooting from the hip

The world is upside down

Everybody lunatics and clowns

No one speaks the truth

And madhouse runs the town

Well, you gotta get a grip

Beat it with a stick

You gotta get a grip

Everybody's body's stuffing their pockets

Everybody's on the take

The news is all fake

Let 'em eat chicken and let 'em eat steak

Let 'em eat shit, let 'em eat cake

You gotta get a grip

You gotta get a grip

You gotta keep 'em zipped

And shoot it from the hip

Yeah, yeah, you gotta get a grip

Beat it with a stick

I tired diversion and I tried coercion

Mediation and medication

LA culture and aquapunture

Overeating and sexy meetings

Induced insanity, Christianity

Long walks and fast drives

Wild clubs and low dives

I pushed and I strived

But I can't getcha, can't getcha, can't getcha outta my mind

Got to get a grip

Oh yeah

Oh you

Oh yeah

Beat it with a stick

Immigrants are pouring in

Refugees under your skin

Keep 'em under, keep 'em out

Intellectual, shut your mouth

Beat it with a stick

Oh yeah

Gotta get a grip

Gotta get a grip

Chaos crisis, instability, ISIS

Lies and scandals, wars and vandals

Metadata scams and policy shams

Put 'em in a slammer

Gotta get a grip

Gotta get a grip

Gotta get a grip

Come on

Oh yeah

Gotta get a grip

Gotta kiss the man

Gotta to get a

A perilous new world

Gotta get a grip

Come on

Perilous world

Beat it with a stick

Oh yeah
