Lyrics

CMND/CTRL

I can't tell
How's this shit all my fault?
It's at department
I fill but they should

And I say commands just because I can
Oh, I can just imagine the difference it has

Straight out of your mind
You see I'm well aware
You're out of your mind
It's straight

I said your name
It slipped off my tongue
Pointed at the camera laughing at you
Ha, ha

Once again
You see no one cares
It's how you wear it
Not what it is

Straight out of your mind
You see I'm well aware
You're out of your mind
Straight out

I can't tell, how's this shit not your fault?
Bitch, you're barbaric king off this earth
Switching command just because I can
I'd like to see you wear it
Why can't I stare?

Switching command just because I can
And if I let my guard down
Who knows what then
Once again
Just because I can
Just because I can.

    Beautiful and brutal: Deftones transform Crystal Palace into metal's new temple

    "I’ve been saving myself just for you," Chino Moreno tells the crowd, just a day after Deftones pulled out of their Glastonbury slot due to illness. Whether that’s sincere or not, it hardly matters. By the time they hit the stage at Crystal Palace Park on Sunday night, Deftones are in peak form.
