    I Get Out

    I get out
    I get out of all your boxes
    Il get out, you can't hold me in these chains
    I get out
    Father free me from this bondage
    Knowing my condition is the reason I must change
    Your stinking resolution is no type of solution
    Preventing me from freedom
    Maintaining your pollution
    I won't support your lie no more
    I won't even try no more
    Oh If I have to die oh lord that's how I choose to live
    I won't be compromised no more
    I can't be victimized no more
    I just don't sympathize no more
    Cause now I understand you just want to use me
    You say love, then abuse me
    You never thought you'd lose me
    But how quickly we forget
    That nothing is for certain
    You thought I'd stay here hurtin
    Your guilt trips just not working
    Repressing me to death
    Cause now I'm choosing life yo
    I'll take the sacrifice yo
    If everything must go then go
    That's how I chose to live

    No more comprises
    I see past your disguises
    Blinding me through mind control
    Stealing my eternal soul
    Appealing through material
    Oh just to keep me as your slave
    But I get out, oh I get out of all of your boxes I get out
    Oh you can't hold me in these chains, I'll get out
    Of this social pergutory
    Knowing my condition is the reason I must change
    See what you see is what you get
    And oh, you ain't seen nothing yet
    Oh, I don't care if you're upset
    I could care less if you're upset
    see it don't change the truth
    And your hurt feelings no excuse
    To keep me in this box
    Psychological locks
    Repressing true expression
    Cementing this repression
    Promoting mass deception
    So that no one can be healed
    I don't respect your system
    I won't protect your system
    When you talk I don't listen
    Oh let my Fathers will be done
    And just get out,
    Oh just get out of all this bondage
    Just get out, oh you can't hold me in these chains
    Just get out
    These traditions killing freedom
    Knowing my condition is the reason I must change
    I just accepted what you said
    Keeping me amongst the dead
    The only way to know
    Is to walk then learn then grow
    But faith is not your speed
    You'd have everyone believe
    That you're the sole authority
    Just follow the majority
    Afraid to face reality
    This system is a joke
    You'd be smart to save your soul
    And escape this mind control
    You spend your life in sacrifice
    To a system for the dead
    Where's the passion in this living
    Are you sure it's God you're serving
    Obligated to a system
    Getting less than you're deserving
    Who made up these rules I say
    Who made up these schools I say
    Animal conditioning just to keep you as a slave
    Oh just get out of this social purgatory
    Just get out
    These traditions are a lie- just get out
    Superstition killing freedom,
    knowing my condition is the reason I must die
    Just get out, just get out, just get out, lets get out, lets get out,
    Knowing my condition is the reason I must die.
