[Lyric] The Watch (The Negatones)

Who's watching the watchmen if they're not playing the whole reel
And everyone's gonna see the fingerprints if the hand slips off the
Wheel
Like a vine acreep the cheapness blocks the boredom
It's accepted, accept it's not acceptable
And it's all to hear it's alright assured that there's insurance
A lullaby to be sent back asleep

But running up and down the hall doesn't change anything
It just keeps things busy while the clock is running down

Who's covering the angles if everyone's looking up from below
If they aren't saying everything, then aren't there things to know
Like a broken watch is still right twice a day
It's not evidence, it's just inevitable
And the media's a medium
Un-objective agendas a paid advertisement stuck on repeat

But running up and down the hall doesn't change anything
It just keeps things busy while the clock is running down
And as the coil unwinds inside, it doesn't change anything
It's just physics in motion drifting towards the end
