NO MATTER WHAT THEY TELL YOU, NO MATTER HOW HARD
THEY TRY AND CONVINCE YOU, BELIEVE THAT WE ARE COMPLETELY VUNERABLE RIGHT NOW…
ALL IT TAKES IS ONE BOMB, ONE
TRUCK, ONE SCHMUCK
IT'S GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH HAVING GOOD OR BAD
LUCK
AND THAT’S US, TICK, TICK BUST
BUILDINGS TO RUBBLE AND BODIES TO DUST, TRUST…
IT COULD BE TOMORROW, IT COULD BE
YEARS
THIS AIN’T A MOVIE; IT’S THE
SUM OF ALL FEARS
AND AS OUR STREETS ARE FLOODED
WITH TEARS
SOMEBODY, SOMEWHERE DRINKS AND CHEERS.
THE FUTURE’S FOGGY, BUT DIRECTION IS CLEAR
IT’S 2004, WE’VE GOT ELECTIONS
THIS YEAR
I CAN’T STAND IT, THE PROPAGANDA I
HEAR
TOO FOCUSED ON THE FRONT LINE, WHO HANDLES THE
REAR?
WE’VE GOT A SHORT WICK AND IT’S SOON IGNITED…
NO MATTER WHO GETS TAPPED OR WHO GETS CITED
BY THE AGENCIES THAT WE FUND TO FIGHT IT,
THE WORLD THINKS WE’RE
WRONG, IT TAKES ONE TO RIGHT IT
(CHORUS)
SO I’LL BE WATCHING, I’LL BE WATCHING AS WE DIE…
SOMEONE BE SURE TO BRING THE NEWS SO I’LL BE SURE
TO CRY
AS I DO NOTHING, BUT REST ASSURED I’LL KEEP A
WATCHFUL EYE…
DISAPPOINTED NOW…
I USED TO BELIEVE IN BUSH AND THE
THINGS HE SAID
BUT NOW I’VE HAD MY FILL OF
THE LIES HE FED
HE’S TRANSPARENT, I CAN SEE RIGHT
THROUGH
I DON’T HATE THE MAN BUT I KNOW PEOPLE
THAT DO
AND FOR OUR COUNTRY, THE STAKES
ARE ADDING UP
THERE’S TOO MANY HAS-BEENS THAT HAVE
HAD ENOUGH
COME ON, IT’S TOO EASY TO MAKE A
BOMB
SO DOES IT REALLY MATTER THAT WE CAUGHT SADAAM?
WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO OSAMA BIN LADEN?
HE’S NOT HIDING, HE’S JUST BEEN PLOTTING
HE GOT US ONCE WHY CAN’T HE GET US AGAIN?
AS NEW WARS BEGIN, WERE CLOSER TO
THE END
WE GOT BORDERS THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO DEFEND
BUT WE’RE CROSSING OTHERS, LOOK AT
THE MESSAGE WE SEND
LOOK HOW THESE PATRIOTS ACT, WITH THE LAWS THAT
BEND
THEY’RE NOT FIGHTING FOR US, IT’S ALL FOR THEM!
(CHORUS)
SO I’LL BE WATCHING, I’LL BE WATCHING AS WE DIE…
SOMEONE BE SURE TO BRING THE NEWS SO I’LL BE SURE
TO CRY
AS I DO NOTHING, BUT REST ASSURED I’LL KEEP A
WATCHFUL EYE…
WATCH OUT…
IT’S HARD TO PICK A SIDE FROM THE SIDE YOU'RE ON
I’VE TRIED TO SUPPORT MY COUNTRY
BUT I TRY TOO LONG
DON’T GET ME WRONG, I SUPPORT THE
TROOPS
I JUST WISH THEY WERE FIGHTING FOR
SOMETHING SUPPORTED BY TRUTH
AND FOR THE GREAT STATES A HATE IS RISEN BY
PEOPLE IMPRISONED JEALOUS OF FREEDOMS WE’RE GIVEN
BELIEVE IT, THIS ISN’T A STATEMENT
OF FACTS
LATER ON MIGHT TAKE A LISTEN AND BE TAKING
IT BACK
BUT FOR RIGHT NOW THIS IS HOW I FEEL ‘CAUSE WE’VE
BEEN THREATENED BEFORE BUT NOW IT’S REAL…
IT’S KINDA’ DEPRESSING, JUST ANSWER THIS QUESTION
HAVE THEY FOUND THE TUMOR YET ‘CAUSE THE CANCER IS
SPREADIN’
HEADIN’ TOWARDS THE END, WILL IT BE FAST OR SLOW?
CHEMICAL OR NUCLEAR? BOMBS BLASTS
WILL BLOW
WHICH EVER IT IS, WE PROBABLY NEVER KNOW
SO I’LL BE READY TO GO WHEREVER WE
GO
(CHORUS)
SO I’LL BE WATCHING, I’LL BE WATCHING AS WE DIE…
SOMEONE BE SURE TO BRING THE NEWS SO I’LL BE SURE
TO CRY
AS I DO NOTHING, BUT REST ASSURED I’LL KEEP A
WATCHFUL EYE…
Keep A WATCHFUL EYE…A WATCHFUL EYE…A WATCHFUL EYE…
YOU KNOW…I DON’T… I’M NOT TRYING TO BE DEPRESSING…
WE COULD JUST FORGET ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED ON 9/11,
FORGET ABOUT THE WORLD TRADE CENTER; FORGET ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AT THE
PENTAGON…
BEFORE 9/11 I THOUGHT NO ONE COULD TOUCH US…NOW WE
CAN’T EVEN FIND OSAMA BIN LADEN…IT’S BEEN LIKE TWO AND A HALF, THREE
YEARS…IT’S UNBELIEVABLE…THEY’RE SITTING THERE WAITING FOR US TO LET OUR GUARDS
DOWN AND WE ALREADY HAVE…THERE’S A BUNCH OF PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD THAT ARE
JUST OUT TO GET US RIGHT NOW…
SO I’LL BE WATCHING…..
