rate me

(don henley/mike campbell)<br><br>While you were sleeping<br>They came and took it all away<br>The lanes and the meadows<br>The places where you used to play<br><br>It was an inside job<br>By the well-connected<br>Your little protest<br>Summarily rejected<br><br>It was an inside job<br>Like it always is<br>Chalk it up to business as usual<br><br>While we are dreaming<br>This little island disappears<br>While you are looking the other way<br>They'll take your right to own your own ideas<br><br>And it's an inside job<br>Favors collected<br>Your trusted servants<br>Have left you unprotected<br><br>It was an inside job<br>Like it always is<br>Just chalk it up<br>To business as usual<br><br>You think that you're so smart<br>But you don't have a fucking clue<br>What those men up in the towers<br>Are doing to me and you<br>And they'll keep doin' it and doin' it<br>And doin' it and doin' it<br>And doin' it and doin' it<br>And doin' it and doin' it<br>Until we all wake up<br>Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up<br><br>I know what I've done wrong<br>I am acquainted with the night<br>I know how hard it is<br>To always walk out in the light<br><br>And it's an inside job<br>To learn about forgiving<br>It's an inside job<br>To hang on to the joy of living<br><br>They know the road by which you came<br>They know your mother's maiden name<br>And what you had for breakfast<br>And what you've hidden in the mattress<br><br>Insect politics<br>Indifferent universe<br>Bang your head against the wall<br>But apathy is worse<br><br>It's an inside job<br>It's an inside job<br>It's an inside job<br>Yeh, yeah<br><br>It's an inside job<br>It's an inside job<br>It's an inside job<br>It's an inside job<br><br>It's an inside job<br>It's an inside job
