"See, I think there are two ways in which people are controlled
C                                   C
 First of all, frighten people, and secondly, demoralize them
             A
An educated, healthy and confident nation is harder to govern
    A
And I think there's an element in the thinking of some people
   G                                                  F#                           F
We don't want people to be educated, healthy and confident, 
because they would get out of control"

[Verse 1]
         Em
Did your daddy ever tell you you’ve got nothing to lose
                Em
There’s nothing better to have nothing but a point you can prove
            Em
Your single mother with her lover, she forgot about you
Em
Right brain on dopamine, left brain on cruise control
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
All your life you’re systematically
Em
Dumbfounded by problematic diplomats
Em
I won’t take a backseat
           Em
No fucking way man (there’s no fucking way)
 
 
[Chorus]
    C                      A
The world is controlled by people
            A                  G
Controlling people, so come on people
         G                        F#   B
Burn the empire, bring her to her knees
    C                      A
The world is controlled by people
            A                  G
Controlling people, so come on people
         G                        F#   B
Burn the empire, bring her to her knees

[Verse 2]
                           Em
Boris like a Morris Minor old and obtuse
Em
Dazed and confused
N.C.
Eton Rifles, Gun, Sling, Loose
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    Em
And all your life you’re systematically
Em
Dumbfounded by problematic diplomats
Em
I won’t take a backseat
           Em
No fucking way man (there’s no fucking way)
 
 
[Chorus]
    C                      A
The world is controlled by people

Controlling people, so come on people
         G                        F#   B
Burn the empire, bring her to her knees
    C                      A
The world is controlled by people
            A                  G
Controlling people, so come on people
         G                        F#   B
Burn the empire, bring her to her knees

 Burn the empire, bring her to her knees
              See, I think there are two ways in which people are controlled. First of all, frighten people, and secondly, demoralise them. An educated, healthy and confident nation is harder to govern. And I think there's an element in the thinking of some people, "We don't want people to be educated, healthy and confident, because they would get out of control".

Did your daddy ever tell you you've got nothing to lose?
There's nothing better to have, nothing but a point you can prove
Your single mother with her lover, she forgot about you
And right brain on dopamine, left brain on cruise control

And all your life, your sister
Magically dumbfounded by problematic diplomacy
And I won't take a backseat
No fucking way man, there's no fucking way

The world's controlled by people controlling people
So come on people, burn the empire, bring her to her knees
The world's controlled by people controlling people
So come on people, burn the empire, bring her to her knees

And Boris like a Morris Minor, old and obtuse
And dazed and confused
Eton rifles, gun sling loose

And all your life, your sister
Magically dumbfounded by problematic diplomacy
And I won't take a backseat
No fucking way man, there's no fucking way

The world's controlled by people controlling people
So come on people, burn the empire, bring her to her knees
The world's controlled by people controlling people
So come on people, burn the empire, bring her to her knees

Burn the empire, burn the empire
Burn the empire, burn the empire
Burn the empire

Get out of control
Get out of control
Get out of control
Burn the empire, bring her to her knees
