Eavesdropping

Two men from Switzerland
came down in their Mercedes-Benz
We lay down in the darkness
as they drove to the border fence
At the gate the car was stopped
The dogs barked and we were photographed
Eavesdropping on you all day
with the headphones and the big reel tapes
that’ll roll over you if you try to escape
Down here you’re just a number instead of a name
Ten years later
she was able to access her own files
After reading the papers
she stood there like paralyzed
Now she knows who was the one
Her man holds the smoking gun
Eavesdropping on you all day
with the headphones and the big reel tapes
that’ll roll over you if you try to escape
Down here you’re just a number instead of a name
Eavesdropping on you all day
with the headphones and the big reel tapes
that’ll roll over you if you try to escape
Down here you’re just a number instead of a name
