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.
GCause now I'm choosing life yo, F#mI'll take the sacrifice yo.

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

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.
GI don't respect your system. F#mI won't protect your system.
GWhen you talk I don't listen. F#mOh let my Fathers will be done.
[Verse]
               Bm   F#m*
And just get out, Oh just get out of all this bondage.

Just get out. All these traditions killing freedom.
                  Em   F#m*
Knowing my condition, is the reason I must change.
[Verse]
GI just accepted what you said. F#mKeeping me among the dead.
GThe only way to know. F#mIs 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.
GYou'd be smart to save your soul. F#mAnd escape this mind control.
GYou spend your life in sacrifice. F#mTo 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.
GWho made up these schools I say. F#mWho made up these rules I say.
GAnimal conditioning F#mjust 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.
GJust get out, just get out, F#mjust get out, lets get out, lets get out,
GKnowing my cF#mondition is the reason I must die.
