"The Battle For Control"

(Lyrics – M. Novak, D. Wyant Music - M. Novak)

Both men and women fight for control.
Submissiveness or dominance knows no gender
We are all taught to play a certain roll
Depending on the view, there is always an offender

Many weapons used to control the battle
Money sex words or a hard right hook
Victims of abuse become branded cattle
Who is the pawn and who is the rook

CHORUS:
Happy wife, happy life – a battle for control
Happy husband, unaccustomed - a battle for control
Bad boss the workers loss – a battle for control
Kings and Queens and oligarchs – a battle for control
The rulers against the ruled the final battle for control

Control is not love it’s bullying and cruel
Emotions drive passions to manipulate a soul
The leader demands you follow their rules
Obey that monster and pay the toll

Children are used in this never ending fight
Discipline for control who makes the rules
Who ever wins control does it make it right
Involving the kids makes the parents fools

CHORUS:


Trying to change someone from who they are
The battle for control is a zero sum game
Winning the fight doesn’t make them the czar
When all is said and done who is to blame

CHORUS:
