Gotta Get A Grip Songtext
von Mick Jagger

Gotta get a grip

Beat it with a stick

Gotta get a grip

She goin′ for the hit

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

Well you gotta get a grip

Beat it with a stick

You gotta get a grip

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


You gotta get a grip
You gotta get a grip
You gotta keep it zipped
And shoot 'em from the hip
Yeah, yeah, you gotta get a grip

Beat it with a stick

I tried diversion and I tried coercion
Mediation and medication
LA culture and aquapuncture
Overeating and sex in meetings
Induced insanity, Christianity
Long walks and fast drives
And wild clubs and low dives
I pushed and I strived
But I can′t get you, can't get you
Can′t get you out of my mind
Gotta get a grip

Oh yeah, oh you

Oh yeah, beat it with a stick

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

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

Gotta get a grip
Gotta get a grip
Gotta get a grip
Come on, oh yeah
Oh yeah

Gotta get a grip
Put ′em in a slammer
Gotta get a-
Put ′em in a slammer
Gotta get a grip
Come on
Put 'em in a slammer...
