Complete Control
Total Chaos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No time to be wasted
Hangin' 'round with you


I've got better things to shoot for

And little time to do
Can't you see I've got it


With no help from you
I've turned around, knocked you down

and burned the bridge from you


I want control


I've got to get control

with no regrets, naturally



I want complete control


Oh changes will be made
To keep control for good
I'll change the whole world

And everything around you

I don't need no help


And nothing from you


I'll get everything I want
You know it will be true


Complete control

Complete control





Complete control

Overall Meaning

These lyrics come from Total Chaos's song "Complete Control." In these lyrics, the singer is addressing someone in their life who they don't want to waste any more time with. This person doesn't help them achieve their goals, so the singer has decided to cut them out of their life completely. The singer is ambitious and has big plans, and they don't want anyone holding them back. The lyrics are all about taking control of one's life and destiny.


The singer doesn't just want control over their own life, they want complete control. They want to change everything around them, and they're willing to do whatever it takes to get what they want. This includes cutting people out of their life who aren't helpful, and making changes in the world around them to achieve their goals. The last line of the song repeats "complete control" three times, emphasizing the singer's desire for absolute power over their life and surroundings.


Overall, these lyrics are about ambition, determination, and taking control of one's life. They reflect the punk rock ethos of rebellion and individualism, and speak to the desire to break free from anything that might hold a person back.

Complete (control) Rancid sound! har har

No but seriously I liked this album back then, even saw them live touring on this one in 97 or 98? idk it had some good fun bouncy songs.

I remember some vegan/anarchist friends saying they weren't gonna attend the above mentioned show because they thought this band were sellouts (signed to Epitaph, even though there are bands on that label these types of people like). Even during their more metallic Disharge sounding first two albums people gave them crap, like in the insert pics they wore clean socks?!

This band reminds me of another band from Portland called Defiance. They started in the anarcho punk scene, but slowly got nudged into street punk territory. You can read their lyrics and see they are not just writing fake ass lines. It's not like any of these bands said anything dodgy racist, sexist, etc. For some reason they are held on thin ice and have to watch what they say /do?
