(V1)
There's something
lurking darkly
out beyond
the corner of my eye
can't quite make it out
it's far too blurry
form is shapeless
creeps me out
and it always there...
i'm in no doubt
watching us everywhere
no way out
(Ch)
i'd like to see your face
and look you in your eyes
and ask you if you realise
it just ain't right
we're always being watched
no matter where we are
but all our leaders tell us is
it keeps us safe from harm
(V2)
and when i feel hungry
food appears
in front of me
all tastes the same
you tell me as i walk
a designated
path prescribed
where's best to be
and when i need to talk
you scan ahead
so I don't have to see someone
you don't think is right
(middle 8 change verse)
then one day i tried
to switch you off
i couldn't work out how
i was angry ripped the wires out
suddenly the blurred shape became clear
from out of that dark corner it came near
i felt myself retracting in my skull
everything went pink and i was gone
when i woke up i was back in bed
all my credit moved from green to red
such a fool to think that i could try and win
(chorus)
my actions have been judged
rewarding me with pain
of never seeing anyone again
we're always being watched
no matter where we are
all our leaders have to tell us
is it keeps us safe from harm
i'd like to see your face
and look you in the eyes
to ask you if you realise
this all ain't right
watch us in our minds
our thoughts are understood
i think its time
we switched you off
for good
for good
for good
for good
(to end)
