lyrics

NO SELF CONTROL

I got no self-control
Traffic in my head
Exhaust in my throat
I gotta relax
I gotta let go
The more I think, the less I know

I often wish
I could store my mind offsite
Or trade it for one that operates right
It’s constantly jonesing for targets
Where it can scream some garbage
The light in the attic’s a racket
And Miss Cerebellum tells me that she knows
But she don't

I got no self-control
Traffic in my head
Exhaust in my throat
I gotta relax
I gotta let go
The more I think, the less I know

The most cliche lyric of all time
Is “Save me from myself”
And it’s hard to listen to
But that don't mean that it ain’t true
Perhaps I should invest in easy listening
to mellow out my soul
So that it’s safe to be alone
But you know I won’t
