lyrics

You've got a lot of nerve
Passing actions off as words
Your hands move before your lips
I could stand you,
But not this

I thought I wanted this
Can't say I want it now

Behind your big machine
Engineering every scene
But you'll bend and then you'll break
We'll be watching every take

I thought I wanted this
Can't say I want it now

Pull back the curtain
We'll see you performing
A marionette whose whole face
Screams a warning

I thought I wanted this
Can't say I want it now

Who do you want on your side in this war?
Just some sociopaths who don't care what it's for?
They'll destroy all your friends with a flick of the wrist
You'll be standing there grateful that you still exist.
But who's watching you
Who's watching you now?

Get down on broken knee
Bleed your whole history
Who will be watching you?
Now that we're onto you?
Watching you
Watching you
Watching you
Watching you now?
