The Clash — Complete Control

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Bridge] You’re my guitar hero [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] I don’t trust you, so 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 (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 whore (C-O-N control) Comes to me [Bridge] Total, C-O-N control Total, (parent, control) C-O-N control [Outro] 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
