about

A ballad to all those who have tried.

lyrics

Verse 1
There ain't no shame in being shameless
There ain't no terror in freedom fighting
and sweetheart there ain't no rationality
in being sane
in being sane

Chorus
So take control, take control
it's in your hands, take the pistola

Take control, take control
it's in your hand, take the pistol

Verse 2
Anger is a virtue
so come on my darling get rescued
freedom is so sweet to taste it
so come on baby and fucking embrace it.

It's far too easy to get trapped
with MDMA, and a CCJ in your council flat

Chorus
So take control, take control
it's in your hands, take the pistol - oh

Take control, take control
it's in your hand, take the pistola - oh

Verse 3
There ain't no shame in being shameless
There ain't no terror in freedom fighting
and sweetheart there ain't no rationality
in being sane
in being sane
