Often used to open shows during the later Self Destruct tours. It begins with a much faster drum beat intro than the album version and features heavy amounts of guitar feedback at various points in the song. During the [[Pre-Year Zero Tour]] (and possibly the With_Teeth tours), [[Alessandro Cortini]] joins the rest of the band at the front of the stage playing guitar only to immediately return to the back when the song is finished.
==Lyrics==
I am the voice inside your head and And I control you I am the lover in your bed and And I control you I am the sex that you provide and And I control you I am the hate you try to hide and And I control you
I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down I use you up
Mr. Self-destructDestruct I speak religion's religion’s message clear and And I control you I am denial guilt and fear and And I control you I am the prayers of the naive and naïve And I control you I am the lie that you believe and And I control you
I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down I use you up
Mr. Self-destructDestruct I am the needle in your vein and And I control you I am the high you can't can’t sustain and And I control you I am the pusher I'm I’m a whore and And I control you I am the need you have for more and And I control you I am the bullet in the gun and And I control you I am the truth from which you run and And I control you I am the silencing machine and And I control you I am the end of all your dreams and And I control you
I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down I use you up
Mr. Self-destructDestruct
