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 Oh, oh, oh, someone's really smart Oh, oh, oh, complete control, 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 At every hotel, we was met by the law Come for the party, come to make sure Oh, oh, oh, have we done something wrong? Oh, oh, 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, oh, oh, I'll never understand Oh, oh, oh, complete control, let me see your other hand I don't trust you, why should you trust me? Huh? All over news, spread fast They're dirty, they're filthy They ain't gonna last (Total) this is Joe Public speaking I'm controlled in the body (C-O-N, control) I'm controlled in the mind (Total) but this is punk rockers We're controlled in the price (C-O-N, control) Of the hard drugs we must have to find Total C-O-N, Control Total (parent, control) C-O-N, Control We've gotta fight it, we gotta fight it, we got to fight it our way (C-O-N, control) That means you I kick it, I fight it, I get it up at it (C-O-N, control) I gotta kick it
