Control
If I let you control me
What would you gain?
money, respect, or some sort of
Fame?
If I let you control me
What would you feel?
Power, strength, or some
manly appeal?
If I let you control me
What would you find?
You’re a true American
Or you lack frame of mind?
If I let you control me
What would you see?
Sadness, fear, or pain
Induced by your LSD
Well, we certainly
can not let that be
No dear Sir,
for that is not me!
There will be no control
So deal with your anger
Insults, tantrums, threats
From Boston to Bangor
Living life obsessed
With another is no way to live
The burden on your friends
A true friend wouldn’t give
Learn to live and let live
Or you will be all alone
In a world where control
Is confined to your home
And do hold that anger
As we revel in laughter
Since the more anger you show
our freedom shows after
The need to control
Controls only you
Surprise! Surprise!
So little you can do.
