Song lyrics
Oh so wrong my lovin' goes
under the fog fog fog
and i believed them all
well i'm just a poor little baby
cause well i believed them all

oh so wrong, your growing old
under the gun gun gun
and i believed them all
well i'm just one poor baby
cause well i believed them all

[Pre-chorus]
i wish i could buy back
the woman you stole

[Chorus]
Y-control, Y-control
you walk, walk, walk, walk, walk my winners
out of control, out of control
you walk, walk, walk, walk, walk my winners
out of control, high control
you walk, walk, walk, walk, walk my winners
out of control, out of control
you walk, walk, walk, walk, walk my winners out

oh so wrong my lovin' goes
under the fog fog fog
and i believed them all
well i'm just a poor little baby
cause well i believed them all

[Repeat pre-chorus and chorus once]

id never seen this video until this year... and ive seen it all of 2 times.
i must say it is quite disturbing and spooky but thats obviously the point of it.
i have no idea wat 'y control' means, not even a suggestion as to wat it cud mean.
wen i first saw 'date with the night' karen o's screaming startled me a little but i always thought there was something whacky and weird and wild about her.
i realise she probly didnt come up with the idea for the video but yeah... freaky bassline and video, perplexing lyrics... luv it tho =P

the kids in the vidio, and the like"you walk walk walk my winners out of control"sound like it's talking about the media, peer pressure, or something that is negatively influencing the children, my guess is that "y-control" means "youth-control" rather then something like "why-control"though I'm probably wrong, it's just my guess...what is that first instrament they use at the very very beginning, it's awsome...this whole song is awsome

i've never seen the video. but i guess that's what makes yeah yeah yeahs yeah yeah yeahs. if they weren't a little out there they would be just a regular indie band.

I love this band and although the video is a little disturbing, it still demands respect. Nobody I know has heard of them though

Posting again. The Live at Fillmore version is really good. I think I actually prefer it to the original. It's a little more instrumental.

I agree with everything else previously said. "I wish I could buy back the woman you stole." Those are pretty good lyrics, and I sing that bit quite a lot also. And I love the video. "Will you cut off my hand?" "Are you sure?" "Freak yeah." Oh how I love Karen O.

yes, just about every person i am friends with despises the yeah yeah yeahs. i believe karen o is a total trailblazer, and that the yeah yeah yeahs deserve more attention as a band, and a lot less as a joke.
Good song, Y Control is. The video is a real different idea then the video for Maps. I also love the lyrics... i wish i could buy back the woman you stole...i sing that little part over and over. Yupp.

I liked the video.
"Will you cut my hand off?"
I might go around asking that to my friends and family. Yeah, like they don't think I'm already insane

Threateningly sensitive. The wailing guitar bits endure quite a bit.
