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