Out Of Control
Need For Speed Underground - Rancid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's go!
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,
A brand-new country, they're gonna build,
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!

Overall Meaning

The song "Out Of Control" by Rancid speaks about the chaos and unpredictability of the world we live in, particularly in times of war and conflict. The lyrics begin with a prophetic figure speaking in a cryptic language, plotting and scheming in the shadows. However, the prophet is not invincible, as his blood is weak like any human being. His operations are also susceptible to leaks and delays.


The second verse describes the harsh reality of war, with no security or protection for the innocent. Despite this, those in power continue to build new countries and engage in violence. The chorus emphasizes the importance of staying out of control, as chaos reigns and the situation spirals out of anyone's grasp.


The final verse urges listeners to resist blindly following those in authority and to question their intentions. The repetition of "resist" at the end emphasizes the need to take a stand and fight against oppression.


Overall, "Out Of Control" is a call to action to take control of one's life and resist the forces that seek to oppress and control us.
