Tom John Hall - Who's Watching You Lyrics

Who's Watching You?
While you're just passing through
Who keeps a beady little eye on you?
Well I do

Who turns the key
And sets the whole thing running?
Guys like me and you
We got a good thing going
(So don't blow it)

You're pale as a king
And male like a lord
Just read your verso and moan these days
Cus you've the privelige
To be bored
Well go ahead
Join them in their protest
Take your conviction
A little further than the bedroom door

Who's watching you
While you're just passing through?
Could've given you the tour
The family shields and colonial swords
But you wouldn't have wanted to

And who builds for you
Institutions
Lending streams, philanthropic
Future proof solutions?
Well it's guys like you and me

Who's watching you
On your high horse with your two left shoes
Saying, 'I'm not gonna carry this on!'
Well tell me, whose is the other leg you've been standing one?
Because it's my one
Mine

Show me some real opposition
A little more than this rehearsed routine of the tradition
I can't wait for you to have a couple
Straight white children
So you can watch them too
