Complete Control

The Clash

    Continues after the ad

    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

    Continues after the ad

    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
