Don Henley - Inside Job Lyrics
(don henley/mike campbell)While you were sleepingThey came and took it all awayThe lanes and the meadowsThe places where you used to playIt was an inside jobBy the well-connectedYour little protestSummarily rejectedIt was an inside jobLike it always isChalk it up to business as usualWhile we are dreamingThis little island disappearsWhile you are looking the other wayTheyll take your right to own your own ideasAnd its an inside jobFavors collectedYour trusted servantsHave left you unprotectedIt was an inside jobLike it always isJust chalk it upTo business as usualYou think that youre so smartBut you dont have a *****ing clueWhat those men up in the towersAre doing to me and youAnd theyll keep doin it and doin itAnd doin it and doin itAnd doin it and doin itAnd doin it and doin itUntil we all wake upWake up, wake up, wake up, wake upI know what Ive done wrongI am acquainted with the nightI know how hard it isTo always walk out in the lightAnd its an inside jobTo learn about forgivingIts an inside jobTo hang on to the joy of livingThey know the road by which you cameThey know your mothers maiden nameAnd what you had for breakfastAnd what youve hidden in the mattressInsect politicsIndifferent universeBang your head against the wallBut apathy is worseIts an inside jobIts an inside jobIts an inside jobYeh, yeahIts an inside jobIts an inside jobIts an inside jobIts an inside jobIts an inside jobIts an inside job
