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
