Control 03:21
I am the king of negativity And no one understands me Try to cut the head And another one grows back I see in color and the color is black The black reflection of society Bah bah black sheep Are you a control freak? Or do you like to be controlled? Will do you do what you're told? Rebel rebel yell yell Will you buy the sex they sell? Do you like to be controlled? Will you do what you're told? You cannot control me You cannot control

Standing on the beach With a gun in my hand Staring at the sea Staring at the sand Staring down the barrel At the arab on the ground I can see his open mouth But I hear no sound I'm alive I'm dead I'm the stranger Killing an arab I can turn And walk away Or I can fire the gun Staring at the sky Staring at the sun Whichever I chose It amounts to the same Absolutely nothing I'm alive I'm dead I'm the stranger Killing an arab I feel the steel butt jump Smooth in my hand Staring at the sea Staring at the sand Staring at myself Reflected in the eyes Of the dead man on the beach The dead man on the beach I'm alive I'm dead I'm the stranger Killing an arab

You always said That you would do it You fucking coward That if by now You'd not become someone You'd slam the brakes And in the end Though you pretend You're still a no one You never had it No you never had it all along I want to be Part of the club I want to feel Their undying love I want to be A corpse, a cliche I want it Shooting Stars make shallow graves They never ever fade away You always said That you would end it You fucking liar You had your chance You had your time And now you're past your prime And in the end Though you pretend You're still a no one You never had it No you never had it all along I want to be Part of the club I want to feel Their undying love I want to be A corpse, a cliche I want it Shooting Stars make shallow graves They never ever fade away The fame The shame The blame The games The lies we told The sex we sold The fear Shooting Stars make shallow graves They never ever fade away Obsession Depression
