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, 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 was 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

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

Oh oh oh, I'll never understand
Oh oh oh, complete control, lemme 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 speaking
I'm controlled in the body, I'm controlled in the mind
This is [Incomprehensible]
We're controlling the body, we're controlling the mind

Total
C O N, control
Total
C O N, control

C O N, control, that means you
C O N, control
