Got Control Lyrics

When I'm tryin' to meet some needs
I don't like to be told
I got no cash left to pay
I don't like to be told
I got scars and I got friends
& I like scotch whisky
I don't need no little man to tell me what I am
I don't need no little man

I started up again
I'm optimistic
Yeah I think I'm on the mend
You can thank the music
& if I stumble now & then
If I'm too sarcastic
You don't need no little man
You don't need no little man

I got one hand on the weather
Holdin' off the rain
I started feelin' better
I got control again
I didn't find no buried treasure
Never bought no private plane
But my future's come together
I got control again

So I wrote another song
It's acoustic
& it's way too fuckin' long
But it sounds fantastic
If I play it to the end
Can I kiss your lips?
I wanna be your little man
I wanna be your little man
I wanna be your little man

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

At a live show last year Pinky said this was one of the first songs he wrote aftre leaving MGF. It's obviously about the break-up of the band. It would be interesting to know who the "little man" is....?
