Bm 	F#m(with the root at the ninth fret)
I get out

I get out of all your boxes

I’ll get out, you can't hold me in these chains


I get out

Father free me from this bondage

G (3rd fret)         F#m
Knowing my condition is the reason I must change


G (Normal)	       Fm
Your stinking resolution is no type of solution

Preventing me from freedom 

Maintaining your pollution


I won't support your lie no more

I won't even try no more

Oh If I have to die oh lord that's how I choose to live


G (3rd fret)         F#m
I won't be compromised no more

I can't be victimized no more

I just don't sympathize no more

Cause now I understand 


G (Normal)	       Fm
you just want to use me

You say love, then abuse me

You never thought you'd lose me

But how quickly we forget

G (3rd fret)         F#m
That nothing is for certain

You thought I'd stay here hurtin

Your guilt trips just not working

Repressing me to death

G (Normal)	       Fm
Cause now I'm choosing life yo

I'll take the sacrifice yo

If everything must go then go

That's how I chose to live

Ooooooops…..

G (3rd fret)         F#m
No more comprises

I see past your disguises

Blinding me through mind control

Stealing my eternal soul

Appealing through material 

Oh just to keep me as your slave

Bm 	F#m(with the root at the ninth fret)

But I get out, oh I get out of all of your boxes I get out

Oh you can't hold me in these chains, I'll get out

Of this social bondage

G (3rd fret)         F#m
Knowing my condition is the reason I must change

G (Normal)	       Fm
See what you see is what you get

And oh, you ain't seen nothing yet

Oh, I don't care if you're upset

I could care less if you're upset 

G (3rd fret)         F#m
see it don't change the truth

And your hurt feelings no excuse

To keep me in this box

Psychological locks

Repressing true expression

Cementing this repression

Promoting mass deception


So that no one can be healed

G (Normal)	       Fm
I don't respect your system

I won't protect your system

When you talk I don't listen

Oh let my Fathers will be done

Bm 	F#m (with the root at the ninth fret)
And just get out,

Oh just get out of all this bondage

Just get out, oh you can't hold me in these chains

Just get out

These traditions killing freedom

G (3rd fret)         F#m
Knowing my condition is the reason I must change

G (Normal)	       Fm
I just accepted what you said

Keeping me among the dead

The only way to know

Is to walk then learn then grow

G (3rd fret)         F#m
But faith is not your speed

You'd have everyone believe

That you're the sole authority

Just follow the majority

Afraid to face reality

This system is a joke

G (Normal)	       Fm
You'd be smart to save your soul

And escape this mind control

You spend your life in sacrifice

To a system for the dead

G (3rd fret)         F#m
Where's the passion in this living

Are you sure it's God you're serving

Obligated to a system

Getting less than you're deserving

G (Normal)	       Fm
Who made up these schools I say

Who made up these rules I say

Animal conditioning just to keep you as a slave

Bm 	F#m(with the root at the ninth fret)
Oh just get out of this social purgatory

Just get out

These traditions are a lie- just get out

Superstition killing freedom,

knowing my condition is the reason I must die

Just get out, just get out, just get out, lets get out, lets get out,

G (3rd fret)         F#m
Knowing my condition is the reason I must die. 

G (Normal)	       Fm    -->   Change rhythm

G (3rd fret)         F#m
