Another one gone today
It happens all the time now
Nobody's surprised now
That they're dropping like they're flies now
But don't you find it disconcerting?
After all, knowing what you've done
You're likely to be hurting
Watch out, you're being watched now
As you skulk along the street
There was once a time when
You controlled the end you'd meet
Depending on the mistakes
Etched into your yesterday
It's a matter of time
Till it's time for you to pay
Tell me, won't you, what's your name?
Hey, why won't you show your face?
There's a reason, there's a rhyme
And in the back of your mind
You know if you're in danger
From the days you left behind
You can run! You can hide!
You can lock yourself inside!
But there's nothing you can do
Once you have been identified!
Watch out, you're being watched now
As you skulk along the street
You are not in control
Of the end you're going to meet
Somebody remembers
Your misdeeds of yesterday
Involuntary atonement
Is just forty seconds away
You could try to win this game
You won't get far. It's far too late
Walking through the streets
Just like any one of us
Deliberately mundane
So as not to cause a fuss
On your trains, your streets, your roads
With you on the bus
Raining judgement not from above
But more like from next door
Watch out, you're being watched now
As you skulk along the street
You are not in control
Of the end you're going to meet
Somebody remembers
Your misdeeds of yesterday
Involuntary atonement
Is just forty seconds away
Watch out, you're being watched now
In the plans for your defeat
There is nothing left
But to fall down from on your feet
The last thing you ever know
Will take your breath away
You look into a pair of eyes
That almost seem to say
You're nothing more than a name and a face
Scrawled onto a notebook's page
