PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

you've got no self control
yet you want to control
everybody else
ain't that how it goes?
ain't that how it goes?

the birds don't fly in the sky where you want them to
now that you've conquered so many humans,
it's birds you want to move on to
you want to control the world
and can't control yourself

you've got no self control
yet you want to control
everybody else
ain't that how it goes?
ain't that how it goes?

mammals don't respect the borders you want them to
now that you've conquered so many humans,
all mammals you want to move on to
you want to control the world
and can't control yourself

this isn't something new
it's something you've longed to do
so long since you've conquered many men
ask the pretty passenger pigeon
but now you've got more technology
and mask organizations
to work your double speak forms of conservation
tryna turn on and off the switch of mass extinction

you've got no self control
yet you want to control
everybody else
ain't that how it goes?
ain't that how it goes?

see wild horse don't trot off the cliffs when you want them to
now that you've domesticated humans,
extra horse no longer has use for you
you want to control the world
you can't control yourself

you've got no self control
yet you want to control
everybody else
ain't that how it goes?
ain't that how it goes?

i think the rest of us need to perform conservation of you
a little space in a prison, we'll call it a zoo
looks good on you
found your self control..

the drops don't fall from the sky where you want them to
now that you ebb'n'flow so many creatures,
it's clouds you want to move on to
you want to control the world
and can't control yourself

you've got no self control
yet you want to control
everybody else
ain't that how it goes?
ain't that how it goes..with control?
