lyrics

We're the ones that watch over this residence,
And you'll see that it's really quite evident,
One bad apple poisons us all,
So I'm listening to your voices through the wall

We're here to count every move you've ever made,
And it's hard to find a needle in a haystack wouldn't you say?
It ain't easy keeping the score,
But I'm catching on, and I'm catching more and more

Now you see me, now you don't,
I haunt this house just like a ghost,
It won't be long before you notice,
Everybody has a different motive

Sleight of hand and misdirection,
Monitored for your protection,
Smoke and mirrors, no reflection,
Everybody has a different method

And we need you to get it done,
'Cause keeping honest people honest isn't fun,

We need eyes and ears in this game,
So just observe and then report suspicious names,
Delicious names,

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL

Listen and obey,
You'll never get away,
When the Eye is upon you,
And they try to disarm you,
There's no where to run,
Because you're under the gun now,
When the eye is upon you,
There's no one to turn to
