Story Behind The Song
Control is a caricature of itself. It was meant to antagonize my girlfriend who is now my wife. Now before we play this song I often preface the performance with ?this is not about my wife?.

Lyrics
You must understand my condition
The girl I have has a bad disposition
It don?t fit with her blind inhibition
She told me straight till I cool my ignition she won?t
Feel bad for anything she does
And I won't watch the clock till she starts to, she says
Cook me some dinner and when you're done clean the dishes too
Wash all my laundry and when it's dry folding?s what you do
I gotta get out of here
She?s driving me out of control
And if I know her I know everything will be my fault.
So now that I have your attention
You can relate to another dimension
Girls that treat you to a night in detention
A life that flat defies all convention and truth
So save your breath for a while
Ain't no way you?re a gonna defy her, she'll tell ya
Cook me some dinner and when you're done clean the dishes too
Wash all my laundry and when it's dry folding?s what you do
I gotta get out of here
She?s driving me out of control
And if I know her I know every thing will be my fault.
