As if her pain was our fault
Looked strangely at the screen
And we shook with excitement
Our sentinel of misery
What we crave for inside
And we shook with excitement
A monitor outside
A passing of time
Then the victim stared up
His face was full of intent
Whilst we sit in our homes
A passing of time
Monitor outside
For the people inside
Looked strangely at the screen
Our new air of authority
Our sentinel of misery
It's a passing of time
His face was full of intent
But that's entertainment
No more second rate movies
Then the victim stared up
They come and they go
The real McCoy
Monitor outside
They come and they go
Sit back and enjoy
Sit back and enjoy
They come and they go
No more second rate movies
Whilst we sit in our homes
A monitor outside
From those people outside
Sit back, sit back, sit back
It's a passing of time
The real McCoy
They come and they go
What we crave for inside
A prevention of crime
But that's entertainment
A prevention of crime
As if her pain was our fault
Our new air of authority
