The final track of Stone’s It’s Only Rock ‘n Roll.
It’s one of the first funk rock cuts of the band and it presents musical features of dance and electronic music.
The lyrics are silently whispered by Mick Jagger and denounce the state of paranoia of the early 70’s , the Watergate-era, when rebels...
[Intro]
Oh yeah, hah
Mmm
[Verse 1]
Fingerprint file, you get me down
You keep me running, know my way around
(Yes, you do, child)
[Verse 2]
Fingerprint file, you bring me down
Keep me running, you keep me on the ground
Know my moves way ahead of time
Listening to me on your satellite
Uh yeah
[Verse 3]
Feeling followed, feeling tagged
Crossing water, trying to wipe my tracks
[Chorus]
And there's some little jerk in the FBI
A-keeping papers on me six feet high
It gets me down
It gets me down
It gets me down
[Verse 4]
You better watch out on your telephone
Wrong number, they know you ain’t home
[Chorus]
And there's some little jerk in the FBI
Keeping papers on me six feet high
It gets me down
It gets me down
It gets me down
Shh!
[Interlude]
Who's the man on the corner?
That, that corner over there
I don't know
Well, you better lay low
Watch out
[Verse 5]
Ah yeah, mm mmm mmm
Keep on the lookout, electric eyes
Rats on the sell-out who going to testify
You know my habits way ahead of time
Listening to me on your satellite
[Chorus]
And there's some little jerk in the FBI
A-keeping papers on me six feet high
It gets me down
It gets me down
It gets me down
It gets me down
[Outro]
Hello, baby, mm-hmm
Ah, yeah, you know we ain’t, we ain’t talking alone
Who's listening? I don't really know
But you better tell the SIS to keep out of sight
Because I know they taking pictures on the ultraviolet light
Yes, uh-huh, yeah, but these days it's all secrecy - no privacy
Shoot first, that's right, you know
Bye-bye
Ooo
Who's listening?
Right now somebody is listening to you
Keeping their eyes peeled on you
Mmm, mmm, what a price, what a price to pay
Ow
All right
Good night, sleep tight
Ow
