i am the voice inside your head
and i control you
i am the lover in your bed
and i control you
i am the sex that you provide
and i control you
i am the hate you try to hide
and i control you

i take you where you want to go
i give you all you need to know
i drag you down i use you up
mr. self destruct

i speak religion's message clear
and i control you
i am denial, guilt, and fear
and i control you
i am the prayers of the naive
and i control you
i am the lie that you believe
and i control you

i take you where you want to go
i give you all you need to know
i drag you down i use you up
mr. self destruct

i am the needle in your vein
and i control you
i am the high you can't sustain
and i control you
i am the pusher i'm a whore
and i control you
i am the need you in you for more
and i control you

i am the bullet in the gun
and i control you
i am the truth from which you run
and i control you
i am the silencing machine
and i control you
i am the end of all your dreams
and i control you

i take you where you want to go
i give you all you need to know
i drag you down i use you up
mr. self destruct
