Control Lyrics
Until I should die, until I should break,
Not a god, not a devil, my soul shall take.
If I should lie to betray myself,
Then I would damn myself, and my soul forsake.
I don't want fifteen minutes want a whole lot more,
Don't want to suffer the fools and the spoils of war.
I don't want fifteen minutes, or a reason why.
I want a stainless steel road stretching off to the sky.
I don't need sentiment, want, or hate on my mind
No crimes of passion or obsessions in kind.
No walls, restraints, or momentary thrill,
No blood on my hands, No time to kill
I want more body,
I want more soul,
Flip the switch to automatic, I want control.
I want control
I want control
I want control
If I should give in, if I should turn away
Not a god, not a devil my soul could save.
I want more body, I want more soul.
Flip the switch to automatic, I want control
I want control
I want control
I want control
I want control
I want control...
I want control...
I want control...
Not a god, not a devil, my soul shall take.
If I should lie to betray myself,
Then I would damn myself, and my soul forsake.
Don't want to suffer the fools and the spoils of war.
I don't want fifteen minutes, or a reason why.
I want a stainless steel road stretching off to the sky.
No crimes of passion or obsessions in kind.
No walls, restraints, or momentary thrill,
No blood on my hands, No time to kill
I want more soul,
Flip the switch to automatic, I want control.
I want control
I want control
I want control
Not a god, not a devil my soul could save.
I want more body, I want more soul.
Flip the switch to automatic, I want control
I want control
I want control
I want control
I want control...

I think the song lyrics sound a lot like a person who is tired of not having a choice in their everyday life.
"Until I should die, until I should break, Not a god, not a devil, my soul shall take." Sounds to me that he doesn't care which one get's him when he dies as long as he get to live on his own terms.
"I don't want fifteen minutes, or a reason why. I want a stainless steel road stretching off to the sky." I don't want fifteen minutes of choice and then that's it, I want to have control for much more so I can build something great.
"I don't need sentiment, want, or hate on my mind No crimes of passion or obsessions in kind. No walls, restraints, or momentary thrill, No blood on my hands, No time to kill" I don't need these human emotions, I'm busy with something greater, nor do I want anyone to die I'm just too busy.
"I want more body, I want more soul," I want more than I have but I need it for what I want to do.
"If I should give in, if I should turn away Not a god, not a devil my soul could save." If he changes his mind or forsakes his cause he will be unredeemable.
"Flip the switch to automatic, I want control" Take over all the little things for me, I need to focus on the bigger things like control.
