Lyrics

Society

Do you ever get the feeling someone's watching you?

Suss out information about the things you do

Watching you now from a secret spyhole

Hearing our words on radio control

See you

You don't know too much about me

I don't know too much about you

See you, yeah they can see you

You don't know too much about me

I don't know too much about you too

Our media controlled by hate

You've been programmed, it's far too late

The first time that you open your eyes

They plug you into all their lies

Lies

You don't know too much about me

I don't know too much about you

See you, yeah they can see you

You don't know too much about me

I don't know too much about you too

They hide behind a shuttle screen

And no one tells us what they see

Your life's a movie in their files

Hold it there, can you smile?

Smile

You don't know too much about me

I don't know too much about you

See you, yeah they can see you

You don't know too much about me

I don't know too much about you too

See you, yeah they can see you

You don't know too much about me

I don't know too much about you

See you, yeah, they can see you
