Flotsam and Jetsam

Camera Eye

Flotsam and Jetsam


You'd better hope your only choice is to die 
Being watched awfully close by the camera eye 
The name that you use may not be yours 
But the time that you serve will be 
So you pull out a gun without stopping to think 
And now the tips of your fingers are all covered with ink 
And now you know there's never gonna be a time 
When you're not being watched by the camera eye 

Always watching you 
Knowing what you do 
Always watching you 
Camera eye 
Always watching you 
Knowing what you do 
Always watching you 
Camera eye 

I hope you need that shirt real fuckin bad 
The fifty dollar skirt with the trim in plaid 
Cause everyone knows, everyone can see 
That you think everything's yours for free 
But the old lady next to you is not a shopper 
A fifty year old undercover male cop 
You try to give your spiel, try to run with a lie 
But you've just been busted by the camera eye 

Always watching you 
Knowing what you do 
Always watching you 
Camera eye 
Always watching you 
Knowing what you do 
Always watching you 
Camera eye 

Maybe once, maybe twice, maybe you'll be caught 
They slap you on the wrist hoping you'll be taught 
But the fact of the matter is you're a thief 
And you got no morals and you got no beliefs 
You're an addict, you're a druggie 
You're a drunk and a boozer 
To sum it all up you're a big fuckin loser 
And now you know there's never gonna be a time 
When you're not being watched by the camera eye 

Always watching you 
Knowing what you do 
Always watching you 
Camera eye 
Always watching you 
Knowing what you do 
Always watching you 
Camera eye
