"CONTROL" --------- Lyrics (c) James Paddock, 2012. VERSE 1 You think you know it all But if you think you know me Then you're quite the fool Don't preach your outrageous ways Leave me alone while I fight my way through this phase Who cares what you think Stop pushing me to the brink What's it gonna take To get you to leave me alone VERSE 2 Don't pretend you know what goes through my mind I can handle things alone I think you'll find Your methods are straight from the past Solutions to problems I know I don't have Who cares what you believe You're wasting your breath on me What's it gonna take To get you to shut your mouth CHORUS Leave me alone Your ego is overblown I can handle this on my own! I know that I'm in control You're just standing in the way of my goal! VERSE 3 You crave control of my life Say you can undo my strife But all your systems in place Just won't erase my ways (I will retake control) I won't be part of your course I won't be threatened or forced You know this life is my own And I can do this alone! [CHORUS REPEAT] FINAL CHORUS Get off your gilded throne I can handle this all alone! You know that I'm in control So you're just standing in the way of my goal!
