The Control Game

Why do you think

That you can control

How people react?

That they'll do as they're told?

If you make a script

If you make a plan

Why would you think

Everyone would understand?

They all have lives

They all have dreams

You think yours are

More important, it seems

To play this game

To force your plan

Are not the actions

Of an honourable man

No one can trust

One that tries to control

That forces them into

Playing a role

It's much better being

Honest with your peers

Trust that is built

On this lasts for years

For to try to control

What others say and do

Will always backfire

And be blamed on you.
