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 |
| They’ll take your right to own your own ideas |
| And it’s 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 you’re so smart |
| But you don’t have a fucking clue |
| What those men up in the towers |
| Are doing to me and you |
| And they’ll 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 I’ve done wrong |
| I am acquainted with the night |
| I know how hard it is |
| To always walk out in the light |
| And it’s an inside job |
| To learn about forgiving |
| It’s an inside job |
| To hang on to the joy of living |
| They know the road by which you came |
| They know your mother’s maiden name |
| And what you had for breakfast |
| And what you’ve hidden in the mattress |
| Insect politics |
| Indifferent universe |
| Bang your head against the wall |
| But apathy is worse |
| It’s an inside job |
| It’s an inside job |
| It’s an inside job |
| Yeh, yeah |
| It’s an inside job |
| It’s an inside job |
| It’s an inside job |
| It’s an inside job |
| It’s an inside job |
| It’s an inside job |
