Lyrics
The Regulator
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You tell me what to say and when to say it
You tell me what to do and how to do it
And if I ask you why, you'll arrest me
And if I call you lie, you'll detest me
You control what I'll be, on Sunday
You control who I see, on Monday
And if I let you, you'll control me
You're the man who owns all the keys to the stores
You're the man who always wants so much more
You're the regulator, you're the regulator
You're the regulator, you're the regulator
