Cops by X.E.X Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1980

[Chorus]
We are watching, we are watching you
We are watching, we are watching you

[Verse 1]
Come ‘round every corner
Their laugh is real cheap
And when you look around you
You can smell the creep
Spy on every building
Watching what you do
If you don’t act normal
They’re gonna tell on you

[Pre-Chorus]
Gotta talk about you
Can’t talk about me
Cause I’m afraid of what they’re
Gonna do to me

[Chorus]
We are watching, we are watching you
We are watching, we are watching you
[Verse 2]
When you go to the restaurant
The waiter listens in
He wants to know the last time
That you commit a sin
Better not write letters
Because they read the mail
No one comes to see you
When you go to jail

[Pre-Chorus]
Gotta talk about you
Can’t talk about me
Cause I’m afraid of what they’re
Gonna do to me

[Chorus]
We are watching, we are watching you
We are watching, we are watching you

[Verse 3]
When it’s the FBI
Getting on your case
Go see a plastic surgeon
Change your god damn face
To a foreign country
See the CIA
When they tear up your passport
Then it’s time to pray
[Pre-Chorus]
Gotta talk about you
Can’t talk about me
Cause I’m afraid of what they’re
Gonna do to me

[Chorus]
We are watching, we are watching you
We are watching, we are watching you

[Verse 4]
Bugging the phone calls
The exterminator
So you gotta hide in the
Refridgerator
When they all come in
Smiles with a big grin
Hear you somewhere, laughing
They’re gonna turn your white ass in

[Pre-Chorus]
Gotta talk about you
Can’t talk about me
Cause I’m afraid of what they’re
Gonna do to me
[Chorus]
We are watching, we are watching you
We are watching, we are watching you

[Verse 5]
Sattelite in the sky
Focused on my face
If you look up and say “hi”
Why don’t you say “cheese”?
Somebody after you
You can’t even think
They can’t wait to catch you
Throw you in the clink

[Pre-Chorus]
Gotta talk about you
Can’t talk about me
Cause I’m afraid of what they’re
Gonna do to me

[Chorus]
We are watching, we are watching you
We are watching, we are watching you
We are watching, we are watching you
We are watching, we are watching you
We are watching, we are watching you
We are watching, we are watching you
We are watching, we are watching you
We are watching, we are watching you
We are watching, we are watching you
We are watching, we are watching you
We are watching, we are watching you
We are watching, we are watching you

[Outro]
Gotta talk about you
Can’t talk about me
Cause I’m afraid of what they’re
Gonna do to
Me
