Spoken intro:

Are we ready?

'Cause it's all about control (control)

Control…This is about control, it's about vision, my vision, my mission
Don't tell me about what you think, 'cause I don't care, no I don't care

Chorus:
We all want control of our destiny, we all want control of our lives
We all want control of our eachother, we all see the fear in our eyes

An old man was sitting on a corner, he couldn't remember where he lived
I felt so sad until he told me
He knew where he was and that was enough for him

Chorus

Open my eyes to it, I can see that way too
Open your eyes to it, you can see that way too

Chorus

We all want control, we all want control, we all want control
We all want controlI love the way you look at me
I feel the pain you place inside
you lock me up inside your dirty cage
well I'm alone inside my mind
I'd like to teach you all the rules
I get to see them set in stone
I like it when you chain me to the bed
well then your secrets never show

I need to feel you
you need to feel me
I can't control you
you're not the one for me
no
I can't control you
you can't control me
I need to feel you
so why's it even

I love the way you break my skin
I feel the hate you place inside
I need to get your voice out of my head
'cause I'm the guy you'll never fiind
I think you know all of the rules
theres no expresions on your face
I hope that someday you will let me go
release me from my dirty cage
Chorus
you and me

I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you
(4X)
Chorus
you and me
You're not the one for me noBreak me, Lord
I've taken control
I don't know how to get up from this fall
Fill my head with comfort instead and resolute mistakes past made
Help me take this day by day
Take what is yours
Make it your own
Show my way home
Your will not mine
I know if I surrender control
Help me, Lord
I failed you before
I haven't quite accepted that I'm wrong
What you see
Mold it to be the life that you have planned
I can be used by you if I would grap your handDon't you mess
With a little girl's dream
Cause she's liable to grow up mean

Suprise you to find that I'm laughing
You thought that you would find me in tears
You thought I would be crawling the walls like a tiny mosquito and trembling in fear

Well, you may be king for the moment.
But I am a Queen, understand?
And I've got your pawns and your bishops and castles inside the palm of my hand

While you were looking the other way...
While you had your eyes closed...
While you were licking your lips, cause I was miserable...
While you were selling your soul...
While you were tearing a hole in me...
I was taking control.

Now I have taken control
Now I have taken control
Now I have taken control
Control

Meow

This is beginning to feel good
Watching you squirm in your shoes.
A small bead of sweat on your brow.
And a growl in your belly you're scared to let through.

You thought you could keep me from loving.
You thought you could feed on my soul.
But while you were busy destroying my life,
What was half in me has become whole

While you were looking the other way...
While you had your eyes closed...
While you were licking your lips,
cause I was miserable...
While you were selling your soul...
While you were tearing a hole in me...

I was taking control

Now I have taken control
Now I have taken control...

Control

So this is how it feels to breath in the summer air
To feel the sand between my toes
And love inside my ear.
All those things that you taught me to fear...
I've got them in my garden now
And you're not welcome here!

Come here.

Come a little bit closer..
Let me look at you..
I gave you the benefit of the doubt it's true..
But keep in mind, my darling,
Not every saint is a fool

While you were looking the other way...
While you had your eyes closed...
While you were licking your lips,cause I was miserable..
While you were selling your soul..
While you were tearing a hole in me..

I was taking control

Now I have taken control
Now I have taken control...

Control...control...

Don't you mess with me

Father:
This cannot be all that there is to life, because in our confrontation
with an enormous and cold universe, there is something comical to the idea
that we can really enforce our will on humanity. Power...corrupts!

It's your world. Do with it what you want!
No. That's not the way to do it.
Power...That's not the way to do it.
Paradox
No. It's your world
No. It's your world
No. It's your world
NO!

Control it! Control it!

Little Poe: This is scaring me.
I live at the end of a 5 and 1/2 minute hallway
I live at the end of a 5 and 1/2 minute hallway

Father:
And at the end of it all lies, of course, the final
phenomenon of deterioration - entropy, which is a predictable
deteriortion when the creative energy ceases:
Everything has to fall apart.

Little Poe:
Why are you always so serious?!On your knees before the mighty them, receive communion once again,
Obey and follow strict laws to the letter,
Do as you're told and life will be better,
Go with the flow, avoid the strife, let unknown powers rule your life,
A box of glass dictates your death stolen minds innocence last breath.

On your knees pray to the one you appease.

Whatever happened to the good old days no mental smokescreen
subliminal haze,
Corporate society prints out your thoughts spirituality sold and
bought.
Now your life is all dictated, all you stood for, all you hated,
Establishment prevails again on your knees before the mighty them.

Look in my eyes and you will find,
Another way to get through your life,
Stare at my face, make up your mind,
And you will find love at first sight,
Connect your soul now get online,
Mind control taking your life.

Try not to look ??cause you might turn to stone,
How much time do you really think on your own?
Just trying to be yourself don't wanna be like no one else,
It was something that was once pure and the truth was meant to endure,
Gotta find out who's to blame gotta end this mind control game.
