Gotta Get a Grip lyrics

Gotta get a grip

Beat it with a stick

Gotta get a grip

Shoot'em 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 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 it zipped

And shoot 'em from the hip

Yeah, yeah, you gotta get a grip

Beat it with a stick

I tried diversion and I tried coercion

Mediation and medication

LA culture and aquapuncture

Overeating and sex in meetings

Induced insanity, Christianity

Long walks and fast drives

And wild clubs and low dives

I pushed and I strived

But I can't get you, can't get you

Can't get you out of my mind

Gotta get a grip

Oh you, oh you

Oh you, beat it with a stick

Immigrants are pouring in

Refugees under your skin

Keep 'em under, keep 'em out

Intellectual, shut your mouth

Beat 'em with a stick

Oh you

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

Come on
