Total Control
Michael Nesmith

I want total control of the airports
Total control of the sea
And total control of the freeway
Total control of police

I want total control of the subway
Total control of my life
Total control of all variables
Total control of your wife

Total control
Total control 
Total control of machines
Total control 
Total control 
I'm sure that's what happiness means

So I know that I'll need lots of money
To get where I'm trying to be
I've read all about it in magazines
I've heard all about it on radio
I've seen all about it on T.V. shows
I've got to grab all the gusto
And I know that means total control

So I want total control of the oceans
Total control of the moon
And total control of the children
Total control of my room
I want total control of emotions
And total control of the wind
Total control of beginnings
Total control of the end

Total control
Total control
Total control of machines
Total control
Total control
I'm sure that's what happiness means

So I want total control of emotions
And total control of the wind
And total control of beginnings
Total control of the end
Yes, I want total control of beginnings
Total control of the end
Of the end
The end
Of the end
The end
