Joe Strummer - 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 Someone's really smart Complete control, 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 And at every hotel we was met by the law Come for the party, come to make sure Have we done something wrong? 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 I'll never understand Complete control, let me see your other hand I don't trust you, so why should you trust me? All over the news spread fast They're dirty, they're filthy, they ain't gonna last This is Joe Public (Control) speaking I'm controlled in the body (C-O-N control) Controlled in the mind This is the top rockers (Control) With your zone in the price you who*e (C-O-N control) Comes to me Total, see you in control Total, (parent, control) see you all in 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
