All Day Watcher

Well in a few more hours, and millions of people
Hate their alarm clock even more than their wives
The day is beginning, you can tell by the sunrise
People get ready for a day in their lives
They're getting together in the streets of the city
Like lost computers of a shattered tribe
They're all in a hurry, to be in time
Some for promotion, some to stay alive
Yeah, yeah
I'm the all day watcher, that's all I do
I'm the all day watcher, I'm watching you
Well I shake my head and I shake my brain
And I don't understand why they're all the same
I weigh pro's and con's, against their lives and mine
But I don't know, it's beyond my frame of mind
Beyond my frame of mind, yeah
Oh, in a few more minutes, and millions of people
Hear the whistle of freedom blowing…
