Texty: The Black Halos. Alive Without Control.

just like rats in a concrete maze
they all starve for the wage raise bait
i'm dying to escape
self made men with their plastic cash
big talk plans and kissing ass
just ain't my strategy

uptown is gonna sell me
downtown is gonna kill me
uptown is gonna take me
downtown i'm clenching to my soul
uptown (oh)
alive without control
downtown (oh)
alive without control
uptown (oh)
alive without control

puppet shows from 9-5
they dress up slaves in a suit and tie
they're living to die
follow the leader not your heart
simon says boy you'll go far
like lemmings in the dark

uptown is gonna sell me
downtown is gonna kill me
uptown is gonna take me
downtown i'm clenching to my soul
uptown (oh)
alive without control

downtown (oh)
alive without control
uptown (oh)
alive without control

i said uptown is gonna sell me
downtown is gonna kill me
uptown is gonna take me
(oh no) i'm clenching to my soul
uptown

uptown (oh)
alive without control
downtown (oh)
alive without control
uptown (oh)
alive without control

uptown
alive without control
downtown
alive without control
uptown
alive without control
