Complete Control Lyrics - The Clash (us Version) - The Clash

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 

Ohh, oh, ohh, someone's really smart 

Ohh, oh, ohh, complete control, 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 

At every hotel, we was met by the law 

Come for the party, come to make sure 

Ohh, oh, ohh, have we done something wrong? 

Ohh, oh, ohh, 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 lotsa money 

And worry about it later 

Ohh, oh, ohh, I'll never understand 

Ohh, oh, ohh, complete control, let me see your other hand 

I don't trust you, why should you trust me? 

—Huh? 

All over news, spread fast 

They're dirty, they're filthy 

They ain't a gonna last
