  F#               B      F#               B
I see it on the TV, it's playing on my mind
Everything I see has got something
to do with killing my brother

Just another mind game? or maybe it's a sign
When the child with
a gun holds it up to the head of his brother

Chorus:
                F#     A
Well that ain't nice, gotta get a grip,
 B                   F#
gotta get a hold on life
 A                             B       F#
Gotta get a grip cause you're gonna slip, yeah

Somebody tell me, where did we lose?
Where's the point
that we lost the control to live with each other?
Mister politician, searching for a lie
What's the truth?
will the youth find the proof for a revolution?

Chorus:
Cause that ain't nice,
gotta get a grip, gotta get a hold on life
Gotta get a grip cause you're gonna slip, on ice
Gotta get a grip, gotta get a hold on life
Gotta get a grip cause you're gonna slip

A            G#             B
Gotta get a hold of the situation,
              F#/A#
gotta get you into my life
A            G#              B
Gotta get a hold and get it moving
A        G#        B      F#/A#     A G#
I can't tell you what you need to know
            B
it's up to you, oh yeah

Chorus:
That ain't nice,
gotta get a grip, gotta get a hold on life
Gotta get a grip, cause you're gonna slip, on ice
Gotta get a grip, gotta get a hold on life
Gotta get a grip cause you're gonna slip

Gotta get a hold of the situation,
gotta get a hold on life
Gotta get a grip and get it moving
I can't tell you what you need to know,
it's up to you, oh yeah

G#
Don't your blood run cold, don't the sorrow show
Hold on tight to what you have
See it in your eyes, don't it make you cry
Get a grip and shake the can
Get a grip,
yeah, get a grip, yeah, get a grip, yeah
Get a grip,
get a grip, get a grip, get a grip, get a hold
Get a grip on life,
get a grip on life, get a grip on life
Yeah get a grip
