Album: Watching Ourselves Go By
Do you ever get that feeling
People closing doors behind you
All alone again, surrounded
By the normal things you do
Like a rabbit in the headlights,
You get rooted to the spot
Now they baffle you with choices
Will they leave you here to rot?
Corporation corridors,
How I wonder what's in store for me.
Corporation corridors,
Help me find an open door
Believe in me, I'll play your game
Please don't ignore me or my name
Do you ever get that feeling
People running scared around you
Sacrificing their opinions
For the uniform they wear
Corporation pays the mortgage,
Telephone and shiny car
Sell your morals for promotion,
Pass the buck and you'll go far
Corporation corridors
How I wonder what's in store for me
Corporation corridors,
Devoted I'll obey your laws
Grant me my security
A corporate identity and I'm yours
I'm yours
You're the answer to my problems
Can you help me run my life and find some friends
Do you ever get that feeling
People making out they like you
All the time they're busy working
On the plan to run you through
If you really want to beat them
You can do it through the system
Secret lies in infiltration,
Anonymity's the clue
Make a point in being faceless
Keep your instinct well alive
Making sure you leave no traces
And you won't tell any lies
Come and join the corporation now
Step into the corridor
["Come on"?] knocking at the station now
Welcome 1984
