LYRICS
I don’t know about the cause
But after the alarm
The reason for pause…
Old white men in control
Cause out-of-control
(in, out, in, out-of-control)
I don’t know about the cause
But resulting in harm
Turns us to was
Old white men in control
Caused out-of-control
(in, out, in, out-of-control)
Sounding the alarm for years
[howling and sirens]
Spreading and shedding tears
Now you tell me…
None can see?
Nobody hears?
Old white men in control
Chose out-of-control
(in, out, in, out-of-control
… guess that’s how they roll)
Most shockin’ —
At the peril of their own kin
… the demise of their own tribe
Too late to think to learn to think
EXTINCT!
