The Clash :: Complete Control [DTRANDOM_009-09]
But we didn't want it on the label
They said fly to Amsterdam
The people laughed, the press went mad
Oh, someone's really smart
Oh, complete control, yeah that's a laugh
On the last tour, my mates couldn't get in
I'd open up the back door but they'd get run out again
At every hotel, we were 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 they make 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 judge you, why should you judge me?
All over the news spread fast
They're dirty, they're filthy
They ain't gonna last
This is Joe Public speaking
I'm controlled in the body
I'm controlled in the mind
This is punk rockers
We're controlled in the price
Of the hard drugs we must find
Total c-o-n, control
