Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The prophet speaks his language, reeks,
Survival dormant, schemes and sneaks,
His blood is weak, he's an oil sheik,
Information leak, operations wait.
There's no security in the battlefield,
No Armageddon strength, no human shields,
One more riot this I will.
Stay out of control!
It's out of control!
Stay out of control!
We're outta control, we're outta control, we're outta control, we're outta control!
Chopped-up waste in the
Pick up your shovel, do what you're told,
The (probe?) is on the
To the middle of nights, to the middle of homes.
Well, I'm done joking, are you a miss?
Deliberate line and recklessness,
Don't keep questioning the IMS,
Resist, resist, resist, resist!
Stay out of control!
It's out of control!
Stay out of control!
We're outta control, we're outta control, we're outta control, we're outta control!
Control!
The lyrics to Rancid's song "Out of Control" are full of political commentary and rebellion. The song speaks to the idea that the world is a battlefield with no security, no human shields, and constant conflict. The prophet in the lyrics is described as scheming and sneaky, with a weak bloodline and the potential to leak information. The song suggests that a brand-new country is being built, but it will only lead to more riots and chaos. The chorus is a call to "stay out of control," suggesting that the only way to survive in this world is to be rebellious and not follow the rules.
The verse that begins with "chopped-up waste" seems to be a call to arms, urging the listener to pick up their shovel and do what they're told. It's not entirely clear what the "probe" mentioned in the lyrics refers to, but it seems to be something that's on the move in the middle of the night. The following lines once again call on the listener to resist and not question the IMS.
Overall, the song paints a bleak picture of the world as a violent and unstable place where rebellion is the only way to survive. The lyrics are cryptic and open to interpretation, but they suggest a strong anti-establishment sentiment.
