Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Em][Am][Em]

[Chorus 1]
I [Am]get [Em]out, I'll get out of all your boxes
I [Am]get [Em]out, you can't hold me in these chains
[Am]I'll get out,
[Em]Father free me from this bondage
[Dm]Knowin' my condition
[Em]is the reason I must change

[Verse 1]
[F]Your stinking resolution
[Em]is no type of solution
[F]Preventing me from freedom,
[Em]maintaining your pollution
[F]I won't support your lie no more
[Em]I won't even try no more
[F]If I have to die, oh Lord,
[Em]that's how I choose to live
[Dm]I won't be compromised no more
[Em]I can't be victimized no more
[Dm]I just don't sympathize no more,
[Em]‘cause now I understand

[Verse 2]
[F]You just wanna use me
[Em]You say "love" then abuse me
[F]You never thought you'd lose me
But [Em]how quickly we forget
[Dm]that nothin' is for certain
[Em]You thought I'd stay here hurtin'
[Dm]Your guilt trip's just not workin',
[Em]repressin' me to death

[Verse 3]
[F]‘Cause now I'm choosin' yo life, yo
[Em]I'll take the sacrifice, yo
[F]If everything must go, then go:
[Em]that's how I choose to live
Heh… hehehehehe…
Ok, we gettin' there
At least I had a chunk
Aight, okay, it's how I choose to live

[Verse 4]
Hehehe, awww
[Dm]No more compromises
[Em]I see past your disguises
[Dm]Blinding me through mind control
[Em]Stealing my eternal soul
[Dm]Appealing through material
[Em]To keep me as your slave

[Chorus 2]
But I [Am]get out,
[Em]oh, I get out of all your boxes
I'll [Am]get out,
[Em]oh, you can't hold me in these chains
[Am]I get out,
[Em]oh, I want out of social bondage
[Dm]Knowin' my condition,
[Em]oh, is the reason I must change

[Verse 5]
[F]See, what you see is what you get
[Em]Oh, and you ain't seen nothin' yet
[F]Oh, I don't care if you're upset
[Em]I could care less if you're upset
[Dm]See, it don't change the truth
[Em]And your hurt feeling's no excuse
[Dm]To keep me in this box
[Em]Psychological locks
[Dm]Repressin' true expression
[Em]Cementin' this repression
[Dm]Promotin' mass deception
[Em]So that no one can be healed

[Verse 6]
[F]I don't respect your system
[Em]I won't protect your system
[F]When you talk I don't listen
Oh, [Em]let my Father's will be done

[Chorus 3]
And [Am]just get out,
[Em]oh, just get out of all these bondage
[Am]Just get out,
[Em]oh, you can't hold me in these chains
[Am]Just get out,
[Em]all these traditions killin' freedom
[Dm]Knowin' my condition,
is [Em]the reason I must change

[Verse 7]
I've just [F]accepted what you said
[Em]Keeping me among the dead
[F]The only way to know
[Em]Is to walk to learn and grow
[Dm]But faith is not your speed
[Em]Oh, you’d have everyone believe
[Dm]That you're the sole authority
[Em]Just follow the majority
[Dm]Afraid to face reali[Em]ty, the system is a joke

[Verse 8]
Oh, [F]you'd be smart to save your soul
[Em]Oh, and escape this mind control
[F]You spent your life in sacrifice
[Em]to a system for the dead
[Dm]Oh, are you sure,
where is the passion in this living?
[Em]Are you sure it's God you serving?
[Dm]Obligated to a system
[Em]Getting less than you're deserving
[F]Who made up these schools, I say
[Em]Who made up these rules, I say
[F]Animal conditioning
[Em]Oh, just to keep us as a slave

[Chorus 4]
Oh, [Am]just get out
[Em]of this social purgatory
[Am]Just get out,
[Em]all these traditions are a lie
[Am]Just get out,
[Em]superstition killin' freedom
[Dm]Knowin' my condition
is [Em]the reason I must die

[Outro 1]
[F]Just get out[Em], just get[F] out, jus[Em]t get out
[F]Let's get out, let's [Em]get out
[Dm]Knowin' my condition
[Em]is the reason I must die
Just [Am]get out
