I Cannot Get You Out Of My System - Newsboys

Oi.

Boy.

Got a new gig?

It’s jammin’your brain

like a too-tight wig.

Stuff this new religious phase.

Your home is here

in the yellow haze.

Oi.

Boy.

What are you doin'?

Wearing your faith like a new tattoo when friends and formers

don’t approve this.

(Steelo pads will not remove this.)

I cannot get you, I do not want

you out of my system.

I cannot get you, I do not want you

out of my head.

Oi.

Boy.

What are you on?

We’d try to help you but you’re

too far gone.

First we thought you’d be rejecting us.

Now we’re scared you’ll start infecting us.

Oi.

Boy.

Come again.

Someday soon it’ll all sink in,

as all your efforts to inspire us spread like some computer virus.

Always stalled by hidden fears,

always stuck in neutral gears

until I gave the driver’s seat away.

Take my life and make it real.

Turn the key and take the wheel.

Push the throttle through the floor,

evermore…
