Из альбома: Inside Job
While you were sleeping
They came and took it all away
The lanes and the meadows
The places where you used to play
It was an Inside Job
By the well-connected
Your little protest
Summarily rejected
It was an inside job
Like it always is
Chalk it up to business as usual
While we are dreaming
This little island disappears
While you are looking the other way
Theyll take your right to own your own ideas
And its an inside job
Favors collected
Your trusted servants
Have left you unprotected
It was an inside job
Like it always is
Just chalk it up
To business as usual
You think that youre so smart
But you dont have a fucking clue
What those men up in the towers
Are doing to me and you
And theyll keep doin it and doin it
And doin it and doin it
And doin it and doin it
And doin it and doin it
Until we all wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
I know what Ive done wrong
I am acquainted with the night
I know how hard it is
To always walk out in the light
And its an inside job
To learn about forgiving
Its an inside job
To hang on to the joy of living
They know the road by which you came
They know your mothers maiden name
And what you had for breakfast
And what youve hidden in the mattress
Insect politics
Indifferent universe
Bang your head against the wall
But apathy is worse
Its an inside job
Its an inside job
Its an inside job
Yeh, yeah
Its an inside job
Its an inside job
Its an inside job
Its an inside job
Its an inside job
Its an inside job
