Better look up, look down, keep looking all around

Behind your back, all over town

They are watching you, everything you do, yes all of you

Monitoring your family too

Gotta stay in line, march in perfect time, turn upon a dime

Every thought a possible crime

Keep it clean, understand what I mean, careful where you've been

Even in the shadows you have been seen

You cannot hide

From their searching eyes

They are everywhere

They patrol your mind

You cannot escape

From their seeking hate

They are everywhere

They watch and they wait

The thought police

Patrolling the streets

The thought police

Watching you and me

The thought police

Patrolling your mind

The thought police

Always one step behind

Do as you're told, the young and old, never be too bold

Recognize what thoughts to hold

When they say jump, don't get up, double think running amok

Don't you ever test your luck

Thoughts are clay, every single day, just do as they say

Save when they mean another way

They are in your head, agents in your bed, know all you've said

Fall in line or you'll end up dead

You cannot hide

From their searching eyes

They are everywhere

They patrol your mind

You cannot escape

From their seeking hate

They are everywhere

They watch and they wait

The thought police

Patrolling the streets

The thought police

Watching you and me

The thought police

Patrolling your mind

The thought police

Always one step behind
