Lyrics for No Control

Stay away from the future Back away from the light It's all deranged No control Sit tight in your corner Don't tell God your plans It's all deranged No control If I could control tomorrow's haze The darkest shore wouldn't bother me If I can't control the web we weave My life will be lost in the falling leaves Every single move's uncertain Don't tell God your plans It's all deranged No control I should live my life on bended knee If I can't control my destiny You've got to have a scheme You've got to have a plan In the world of today, for tomorrow's man No control Stay away from the future Don't tell God your plans It's all deranged No control Forbidden words, deafen me In memory, no control See how far a sinful man Burn his tracks, his bloody robes You've gotta have a scheme You've gotta have a plan In the world of today, for tomorrow's man I should live my life on bended knee If I can't control my destiny No control I can't believe I've no control It's all deranged I can't believe I've no control It's all deranged Deranged Deranged
