(Strummer/Jones)
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
Ooh ooh ooh someone`s really smart
Ooh ooh ooh complete control, that`s a laugh
On the last tour my mates 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!
Ooh ooh ooh have we done something wrong?
Ooh ooh ooh complete control, even over this song
They said we`d be artistically free
When we signed that bit of paper
They meant let`s make a lotsa mon-ee
An` worry about it later
Ooh ooh ooh I`ll never understand
Ooh ooh ooh complete control - lemme see your other hand!
All over the news spread fast
They`re dirty, they`re filthy
They ain`t gonna last!
This is Joe Public speaking
I`m controlled in the body, controlled in the mind
Total
C-o-n control - that means you!
