It's a world that won't let you feel

You grow up very fast in sorrow

The drinking damage a parent provokes

Can ruin a child's tomorrow



No no no no do you feel you're abused

By a bottle of liquor

The alcohol will cause the fall



State of control

It never wants to let you go

State of control

Like chains around your body and soul



There's no support they don't care at all

You're lonely cause you feel abandoned

But there's a way

To heal the pain

With God again and again



You know I know

Keeping secrets from your friends

That your mothers sick

It's like I said being drunk is dead



State of control

It never wants to let you go

State of control

Like chains around your body and soul

And the soul of your children



You feel like you've always been walked on

And frankly I don't blame you a bit

I see your unhappiness and I say

No no no no



State of control

It never wants to let you go

State of control

Like chains around your body and soul
