Control Video (MV)

I packed up, didn't know what I'd find
I sang a song, tried to make you have a good time
But all just to gain control
It was all just to gain control
I told myself I'd never get robbed again
But then she touched me then my pockets were empty, I had lost more than I spent
And I didn't mind too much at first
But another minute and then it hurt

Maybe there's a planet where everyone's like me
And NASA hasn't told anyone cause no one would want to see
Where all the inhabitants do stupid shit, set things on fire and smoke and drink
I'm like Superman's retarded cousin- you know that's what I think
And I wonder if that planet, if it's really doing fine
Or if the inhabitants get nothing done they just sit around and whine
'Cause no one wants to do any work they'd rather masturbate and cry
Seven billion lonely people travel senselessly then die
We should just kiss 'em all goodbye

I'll never rob someone again
I stole a laptop from a car one time and it filled me with regret
Oh all to gain control, I gave the money I made to the poor
And if the world needs a guy
Who has to kill or lie or steal to live then damn I'm gonna die
Man I just need control, I need my self-control

And I wish I were a bird so no evil could get to me
I wouldn't even know it as I flew but I'd be beautifully free
My wings would cut through air and more air would flow beneath
Oh I'd be the ugliest f*cking bird that the world had ever seen
And I look outside the window and see the monks walk in single file
And I envy them, may all my unclean urges be rendered benign
But I know how good it feels to grab some ass and I love the taste of wine
I feel closer to God every drug and poison flowing through my life
Oh I should just kiss you all goodbye

Goodbye goodbye everyone
It was really a lot of fun
Goodbye everyone
This eyesore bird's spiraling now, careening towards the sun
Oh I'm gonna kiss you all goodbye
