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

Oh, someone's really smart

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 a'met by the law

Come for the party, come to make sure

Oh, have we done something wrong?

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

Oh, I'll never understand

Oh, complete control, let me see your other hand

I don’t trust you, 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 (Total)

I'm controlled in the body (C-O-N control), I'm controlled in the mind

This is punk rockers (Total)

We're controlled in the price of the hard drugs we can find (C-O-N control)

(Total, C-O-N control)

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

We gotta work it up and bring it up and fight it and write it

(C-O-N control) And that means you!

I kick it, I fight it, I get it out, write it

(C-O-N control)

I gotta kick it up
