Listen to my story
That I'm about to tell
Back in my days of glory
Before I tripped and fell
The vividness of morning
Had stayed with me all day
But then, without a warning
The sky had turned all gray
The light becoming stranger
And shadows start to fall
The feeling that there's danger
The wish to end it all
As much as you might tremble
For courage you should strive
For if you have to gamble
Don't gamble with your life
They gather all the information
And they control the things we do
The government and corporations
They all keep watching over you
Day and night you're in its sight
The ever watchful eye
So then you find yourself running away
And the music plays
Where am I now, I don't remember
They've taken all they want from me
My inner thoughts, my deepest secrets
Are not as free as they should be
Don't despair, it's always there
The ever watchful eye
It never leaves you, you are on its list
And the credits roll
Don't try to hide, you cannot fight
The ever watchful eye
It never leaves you, you are on its list
And the music plays
