The Watched

I've got a minute to leave
I've got a minute to stay
I don't wanna be watched
It feels like dying now
It feels like dying inside
All those motherfuckers out of mind
It's a system for the insane
It's a system for the insane
If you want to survive
You've gotta be tough and brave
Gotta be tough and brave
We are the watched, the hypnotized
Living this life like rats
The day, the night, we all are being observed
They wanna read our minds
But time is on our side
The brave will never die
The age of rage
The truth will never fade
I'm here
We are the watched, the tv freaks
The ones who never sleep
The day, the night, someone wants to watch
They wanna track us down
We're all lab rats
We're all lab rats
Escape, no time for tears
Everyone needs to be out of this place
Escape, they observe our lives
But none of them own our minds
I've got a minute to leave
I've got a minute to stay
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be watched
Escape, kill the system of the insane
Stand up and fight
Stand up and be free and again
Just read my lips
Just read my mind
Stand up and fight
Stand up and be free and again
Just read my lips
Just read my mind, mind, mind
We are the watched, the hypnotized
Living this life like rats
The day, the night, we all are being observed
They wanna read our minds
But time is on our side
The brave will never die
The age of rage
The truth will never fade
I'm here
We are the watched, the tv freaks
The ones who never sleep
The day, the night, someone wants to watch
They wanna track us down
We're all lab rats
We're all lab rats
We're all lab rats
We're all lab rats
We're all lab rats
We're all lab rats
We're all lab rats
We are the watched, the hypnotized
Living this life like rats
The day, the night, we all are being observed
They wanna read our minds
But time is on our side
The brave will never die
The age of rage
They wanna track us down
We are the watched
We are the watched
We are the watched
We are the watched
