Control
[Verse 1]
Take those holy rollers, blind believers
Self-promoters, self-deceivers
(Grail seekers) Faith healers
(Pain freaks) Brain stealers
"God is on my side" wheelers and dealers

[Chorus]
(Why should you) Why should you (Have control) have control?
(Why should you) Why should you have it all?
(Why should you) Why should you (Have control) have control
Of everything?
(Yeah)

[Verse 2]
All you scandal merchants, heavy breathers
Phoney virgins, midnight creepers
(Finger-waggers) Man-blamers
(Knuckle-draggers) Woman-tamers
Throw anothеr stone with the namers and shamеrs

[Chorus]
(Why should you) Why should you (Have control) have control?
(Why should you) Why should you have it all?
(Why should you) Why should you (Have control) have control
Of everything?
[Verse 3]
Rehab-haunters, teenage has-beens
Habit-flaunters, silicon pop-queens
(Star-shaggers) Glad-handers
(Back-stabbers) Crash-landers
Bring on the paparazzi D-list grandstanders

[Chorus]
(Why should you) Why should you (Have control) have control?
(Why should you) Why should you have it all?
(Why should you) Why should you (Have control) have control
Of everything?

[Bridge]
[?] survive
Nothing left but world domination is at stake
Introducing the new record and [?]
Red, green, pinkos, liberals, non-believers, sympathizers
Me and you
And in the blue corner
The cape [?] crusaders
Democracy brewers smoking gun
You [?]
Roll up, roll up
Second downs, round one
[Verse 4]
Take those daddy's inbred little pharaohs
Silver-spoon-fed pistoleros
(Born winners) Born takers
(Born spinners) Born fakers
All you wannabe movers and shakers

[Chorus]
(Why should you) Why should you (Have control) have control?
(Why should you) Why should you have it all?
(Why should you) Why should you (Have control) have control
Of everything?
(Why should you) Why should you (Have control) have control?
(Why should you) Why should you have it all?
(Why should you) Why should you (Have control) have control
Of everything?
