If we'll get up again, we'll get up again
You've been making a joke of our lives
You've been taking control of our lives
(I can't be the one to finally pull you out again, out again)

And we won't take it when you won't take it, oh no
And you've been letting us go

And we won't take it when you won't take it, oh no
And you've been letting us go
And you've been letting us go
And if we get down when we get down
And if we get down, how should we know?
We'll get up again, we'll get up again
You've been taking control of our lives

I can't be the one to finally pull you out again, out again
You've been taking control of our lives
And you've been letting us go
And you've been letting us go
And we can take the right way out of here
Then we won't take it when you won't take it, oh no
But we won't take it when you won't take it, oh no
You've been taking control of our lives
And you've been letting us go
And we won't take it when you won't take it, oh no
I'll be sure to show you again
You've been taking control of our lives

You've been taking control of our lives
(I can't be the one to finally pull you out again, out again)
You've been taking control of our lives
