Yeah.

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,
No, oh, no.

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 mother's 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, no, no, no.

State of control,
It never wants to let you go,
State of control,
Like chains around your body and soul,
State of control,
It never wants to let you go,
State of control,
The way is Jesus, he'll fill your soul,
State of control,
It's got a hold'a hold'a hold on you,
