I walk the streets and reach my home 
I call a friend up on the phone 
One loud click they're listening in 
Everything I do is heard and seen 
I can't escape their prying eyes 
I wish I'd never told those lies 

My life is held in abeyance 
Maybe it's [bad word] it could be happening to you 
My life is under surveillance 
Don't think you're immune it could be happening to you 

I have to meet you far away 
But they'll still find me anyway 
Cause I [bad word] but I can't hide 
The fear and pain I feel inside 
I can't escape their prying eyes 
They always see through my disguise 

My life is held in abeyance 
Maybe it's [bad word] it could be happening to you 
My life is under surveillance 
Don't think you're immune it could be happening to you 

I walk the streets and reach my home 
I call a friend up on the phone 
They never leave me on my own 
I know I never walk alone 
I can't escape their prying eyes 
I wish I'd never told those lies 

My life is held in abeyance 
Maybe it's [bad word] it could be happening to you 
My life is under surveillance 
Don't think you're immune it could be happening to you
