No Hiding Place

[Verse 1]
In the not very distant future
When everything will be free
There won't be any cute secrets
Let alone any novelty
You can say anything you want to
In your fetching cloak of anonymity
Are you feeling out of breath now?
In your desperate pursuit of infamy

[Chorus]
Two lovers rocking up and down
In an elevator, 15 minutes later
They'll make a killing in the market
They know how to work it on that close circuit
My, my, it's a terrible disgrace
You'll find these days that there's no hiding place

[Verse 2]
How proud you are, you got the knack
Of howling in a vacuum
Whatever I said about you
I didn't say it behind your back
I paid for my immortal sins
I know the enemy within you
As it seems these days
There is no hiding place

[Verse 3]
Next time someone wants to hurt you
Or set alight your effigy
Don't call on me to help you out
Don't come crying to me for sympathy
You stay there with your daubs and scratches
While I summon up the red machine
I'll be handing somebody matches
And carrying a can of kerosene

[Chorus]
Walk up to me and say what you said
Let's see how brave you are when I'm about this far
You sit in judgment and bitch
Well, baby that's rich, you're nothing but a snitch
Nah nah, nah nah, nah nah nah
Nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah, nah nah nah nah
Nah nah, nah nah, nah nah nah
Nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah, nah nah nah nah
My, my, it's a terrible disgrace
My, my, it's a terrible disgrace
My, my, it's a terrible disgrace
You'll find these days that there's no hiding place
