Gonna Get a Grip Songtext
von Mick Jagger

The world is upside down
Everybody lunatics and clowns
No one speaks the truth
And a madhouse runs the town

Well you gotta get a grip, mm, mm
Beat it with a stick, mm, mm

Everybody′s stuffing their pockets
Everybody's on the take
The news is all fake
Let ′em eat chicken and let 'em eat steak
Let 'em eat shit, let ′em eat cake

We gotta get a grip
We gotta get a grip
You gotta keep it zipped
And shoot ′em from the hip


Chaos, crisis, instability, ISIS
Lies and scandals, wars and vandals
Metadata scams and policy shams
Put 'em in a slammer
Come on!

Uh, got to get a
Got to get a
Beat ′em with a stick, uh
Got to get a grip
Got to get a (oh yeah, oh yeah)
Uh, got to get a
Gotta get a grip

I tried diversion, and I tried coercion
Mediation and medication
LA culture and accpuncture
Overeating and sex in meetings
Induced insanity
Christianity

Long walks and fast drives
And wild clubs and low dives
I've pushed, and I′ve strived
But I can't get you
Can′t get you
Can't get you outta my mind


Mm, mm, got to get a grip
Mm, mm
Uh, got to get a
Got to get a
Beat 'em with a stick, uh
Got to get a grip
Got to get a (oh yeah, oh yeah)
Uh, got to get a

Immigrants are pouring in
Refugees under your skin
Keep ′em under, keep ′em out
Intellectual, shut your mouth

Beat 'em with a stick, oh yeah
Gotta get a grip
Gotta get a grip
Uh, got to get a
Got to get a

Beat ′em with a stick, oh
Got to get a grip
Got to get a oh yeah, oh yeah
Uh, got to get a

Oh yeah, oh yeah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

I gotta, I got to get a grip
I gotta get a
