Everything’s Under Control

[Intro ] Verse 1 We drink our news with foamy smiles, Thirty-second truths, lifestyle trials. Everyone’s a judge, a star, a brand, With a cardboard crown and a shaking hand. We sell our time for things on sale, Call it freedom, sign the mail. If thinking hurts, we scroll instead, Let the algorithm nod its head. Pre-Chorus [Drop to bass and piano] We say “It’s fine” with such finesse, Professional calm in a public mess. Chorus Everything’s under control, they say, Just breathe in deep and look away. If the puzzle’s missing half the parts, We’ll tape a smile across our hearts. Oh, everything’s under control tonight, At least that’s what the headlines write. Verse 2 We shout “Be kind!” in capital letters, While sharpening words like handmade sweaters. We love the planet, swear it’s true, As long as it fits in a carry-on too. We chase our dreams in measured steps, Count the likes, ignore the depth. If irony could cure the pain, We’d all be healed by yesterday. Pre-Chorus We trust the system, nod in line, It hasn’t failed us — not this time. Chorus Everything’s under control, relax, No need to read the footnote facts. If reason trips and loses pace, We’ll call confusion “modern grace.” Oh, everything’s under control tonight, Just don’t ask questions — smile polite. Bridge We know the joke, we play along, Hum the chorus, sing it strong. Laughing’s cheaper than the truth, And much more fun in polished shoes. Final Chorus Everything’s under control, hooray, Another slogan to save the day. If tomorrow changes all the rules, We’ll sell the chaos as “breaking news.” Oh, everything’s under control tonight, Now clap your hands — the timing’s right. Outro Same stage, same dance, new disguise… See you soon — bring your alibis.
