The song "Out Of Control" by Jefferson Starship describes a world that is spiraling out of control, with flames getting higher and higher due to the actions of both girls and boys. The protagonist of the song enjoys being outside where all the action is and claims to have no mental problems. The lyrics then shift to a darker theme, where someone claims to be a "specialist in darkness" and describes a world that is not as bright and warm as it was promised to be. There is only light from burning books, and the world is dark, cold, and not like anyone was told it would be. A conversation then occurs between a man and a woman, where the man insists that he is not a Communist or out of control. He denies being Jesus, radiation, or a commando, and claims that he is not responsible for what is happening in the world. The woman simply warns him to "get with it." The song ends with a chorus of "the world's on fire, toys on fire, everybody everywhere looking for desire." Mary and Sue are mentioned again, and the protagonist once again admits to warning them about the chaos that is erupting around them. Overall, "Out Of Control" paints a picture of a world that has lost its way and is too far gone to save. Despite warnings and protests, the flames and desires of people continue to burn brighter and higher.
