Complete Control Lyrics

They said, "Release Remote Control"
But we didn't want it on the label
They said, "Fly to Amsterdam"
The people laughed, but the press went mad

Ooh-oh, someone's really smart
Ooh-oh, complete control, yeah, that's a laugh

On the last tour, my mates they couldn't get in
I'd open up the back door but they'd get run out again
And at every hotel we was met by the law
Come for the party, come to make sure

Ooh-oh, have we done something wrong?
Ooh-oh, complete control, even over this song

You're my guitar hero

They said we'd be artistically free
When we signed that bit of paper
They meant "Let's make a lots of money
And worry about it later"

Ooh-oh, I'll never understand
Ooh-oh, complete control, let me see your other hand

I don't trust you, so why should you trust me?
Huh?
All over the news spread fast
They're dirty, they're filthy
They ain't a-gonna last

This is Joe Public speaking (control)
I'm controlled in the body (C-O-N, control)
I'm controlled in the mind
This is the top rockers (control)
With your zone in the price you whore (C-O-N, control)
Come to me

Total, C-O-N, control
Total, (parent control) C-O-N, control

We've got the rock 'n roll (C-O-N, control)
That means you
I kick it, I fight it, I gotta get up at it (C-O-N, control)
I gotta kick it
