Conciliation breeds a fourth amendment funeral With the paranoid seduced by circustance The sycophants withdrawing even further When systematically denied their final chance
Somebody's following you home at night And they're into what you throw away Bills and statements, date of birth, social security It's all they need to buy your life away
And they're wide awake They got wild, staring eyes Make no mistake They will appropriate your lives Your lives Your happy, your selfish lives Your lives
So now you're relatively safe In your suburbanite disguise Until you see a neighbor He's got murder in his eyes
You can stand alone or fall But the world still slips away Sequestered in your sterile homes You keep the wolves at bay The drones of wealth and power Bombard your frightened mind Keep your doors and windows Locked and barred Against the world
