lyrics

I wanna control you
Like you control me
I wanted to know you
But you gotta show me
How to save the world
Whoa, whoa

I wanna see you
Under the moonlight
Hungry and breathless
Floaty and dreamlike
You should be amazed
Whoa, whoa

But you never wanted me around
You only want a little rebound
So, you treat me
You treat me
You treat me

You treat me
Like a punching bag
Such a drag
Laugh it up
Break it down
Sell my soul
Damage control

Overdressed
Unimpressed
With my homemade
Overplayed
Rock and roll
Damage control

Oh, with the lights out
It can be dangerous
That’s when it hit me
This should be painless
We are the children of The End
Whoa, whoa

Do you hear me freaking out?
You picking up what I’m putting down?
No, you treat me
You treat me
You treat me

You treat me
Like a punching bag
Such a drag
Laugh it up
Break it down
Sell my soul
Damage control

Overdressed
Unimpressed
With my homemade
Overplayed
Rock and roll
Damage control

You’re not bad
But I don’t care
The 80s called
They want their hair

It didn’t work out
It never does
The 90s called
They want their fuzz

I got a taste
Of your new track
2004 called
They want you back

I’m your punching bag
What’s with that?
You should be
Loving me
More and more

Damage control

And my lightweight
Second-rate
Overused
Homebrewed
Rock and roll

You treat me
Like a punching bag
Such a drag
Laugh it up
Break it down
Sell my soul
Damage control

Overdressed
Unimpressed
With my homemade
Overplayed
Rock and roll
Damage control

Homemade, overplayed
Rock and roll
Damage control
You should be loving me
More and more
Damage control
