Lyrics
Secret Police
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.
Touching your skin is a victory
A revolution of hearts and minds
When does a movement become a regime?
When you're spies with the smiling eyes
Call in the Secret Police
Call in the Secret Police
What happened to the vision we had?
This silence is a strangled cry
(Call in the Secret Police)
The freedom to say whatever we like
Replaced with the recital of lies
With rock-set skin
Mistrust and suspicion
And to caress now our strange
Hand in the night
With manifesto reprise
With secrets and lies
A sleet of fear, a cold war
Call in the Secret Police
What happened to the vision we had?
This silence is a strangled cry
(Call in the Secret Police)
The freedom to say whatever we like
Replaced with the recital of lies
What happened to the vision we had?
This silence is a strangled cry
(Call in the Secret Police)
The freedom to say whatever we like
Replaced with the recital of lies
Don't make me disappear, I have not toed the line
Don't make me disappear, I have not toed the line
Don't make me disappear, I have not toed the line
It doesn't have to end like this
It doesn't have to get like this
Call in the Secret Police
Call in the Secret Police
What happened to the vision we had?
This silence is a strangled cry
(Call in the Secret Police)
The freedom to say whatever we like
Replaced with the recital of lies
What happened to the vision we had?
This silence is a strangled cry
(Call in the Secret Police)
The freedom to say whatever we like
Replaced with the recital of lies
