CIA
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
(Whoa, Ooooh, Whoa, Ooooh)
A sense of danger, there's violence in the air,
Young thieves in operation, these streets belong to them
So beware.
(Whoa, Ooooh)
Nothing is sacred, there's nothing you can hide.
Your underneath the radar, every time you step outside.
You have no rights to deny or decide.
But they're always watching me!
CIA, they got you covered like the CIA,
and I ain't got no time for mistakes,
they're watching every move I make.
CIA, is it to protect or investigate?
They're watching like the CIA.
(Aie)
(Whoa, Ooooh, Whoa, Ooooh)
Can't go about my business, I feel too paranoid.
I wanna get up and get out, and get on with it.
Doin' all I can to avoid.
(Whoa, Ooooh)
They've got you numbered, they've got you in their sights.
Your every move is monitored, don't even think of stepping out of line.
You have no rights to decide or deny.
But they're always watching me!
CIA, they got you covered like the CIA,
and I ain't got no time for mistakes,
They're watching every move I make
CIA, is it to protect or investigate?
They're watching like the CIA.
(solo)
I'm sensing danger, (hey) there's violence in the air,
Secret operation,(hey) these streets belong to them
Don't you try and hide, (hey) you'll only make it worse
If you can't beat them, (hey) you're better off to join
Come on, grab your boots and step outside
Soon enough you'll realise what it means to be alive
(Ahhhhh)
But they're always watching me!
But they're always watching me!
CIA, they got you covered like the CIA,
and I ain't got no time for mistakes,
They're watching every move I make
CIA, they got you covered like the CIA,
and I ain't got no time for mistakes,
They're watching every move I make
(Whoa, Ooooh, Whoa, Ooooh)
(Whoa, Ooooh, Whoa, Ooooh)
