Don Henley - Inside job

Tekst :

While you were sleeping
They came and took it all away
The lanes and the meadows
The places where you used to play

It was an inside job
By the well-connected
Your little protest
Summarily rejected

It was an inside job
Like it always is
Chalk it up to business as usual

While we are dreaming
This little island disappears
While you are looking the other way
They ll take your right to own your own ideas

And it s an inside job
Favors collected
Your trusted servants
Have left you unprotected

It was an inside job
Like it always is
Just chalk it up
To business as usual

You think that you re so smart
But you don t have a fucking clue
What those men up in the towers
Are doing to me and you
And they ll keep doin it and doin it
And doin it and doin it
And doin it and doin it
And doin it and doin it
Until we all wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

I know what I ve done wrong
I am acquainted with the night
I know how hard it is
To always walk out in the light

And it s an inside job
To learn about forgiving
It s an inside job
To hang on to the joy of living

They know the road by which you came
They know your mother s maiden name
And what you had for breakfast
And what you ve hidden in the mattress

Insect politics
Indifferent universe
Bang your head against the wall
But apathy is worse

It s an inside job
It s an inside job
It s an inside job
Yeh, yeah

It s an inside job
It s an inside job
It s an inside job
It s an inside job

It s an inside job
It s an inside job

  • How bad do you want it
  • Shangri-la

  • Long way home
  • Nobody else in the world but you

    Come on home

    Here I am
    Red high heels
    Yellow dress
    Perfect nails
    Lips like velvet
    Don t you want me, baby?

    I ve been here and back again
    It never answers anything
    Where was I when they handed out the knowing you are
    loved?

    Don t it get lonely out there, little darling...

    Sharada

    Once upon a time there was a girl
    You really wouldn t call her typical
    Had her own definition of cool
    She lived in her own world
    She had her own style her own rules
    She played along like it was usual
    Nobody really even knew her name
    Her life was one big game

    She got her...

    I remember you

    I remember you
    You’re the one that made my dreams come true
    A few kisses ago

    I remember you
    You’re the one that said I love you too
    Didn’t you know

    I remember you
    A distant bellAnd stars that fell

    Inside job

    While you were sleeping
    They came and took it all away
    The lanes and the meadows
    The places where you used to play

    It was an inside job
    By the well-connected
    Your little protest
    Summarily rejected

    It was an inside...

    Seven veils

    Heaven knows it s time for us
    to wake up with the sun
    like a child you kiss my eyes
    the tears have come and gone

    and now i feel the mist is clearing
    and all the clouds will drift away
    and there...
