Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Monitor outside
For the people inside
A prevention of crime
A passing of time
[Verse 2]
They come and they go
It's a passing of time
They come and they go
Whilst we sit in our homes
[Verse 3]
Sit back and enjoy
The real McCoy
Our new air of authority
Our sentinel of misery, oh
[Verse 4]
His face was full of intent
And we shook with excitement
Then the victim stared up
Looked strangely at the screen
As if her pain was our fault
[Verse 5]
But that's entertainment
What we crave for inside
No more second rate movies
From those people outside
[Verse 6]
A monitor outside
For the people inside
A prevention of crime
A passing of time
[Verse 7]
A monitor outside
A monitor outside
[Verse 8]
They come and they go
It's a passing of time
They come and they go
Whilst we sit in our homes
[Verse 9]
Sit back
Sit back
Sit back
Sit back and enjoy
The real McCoy
[Verse 10]
Our new air of authority
Our sentinel of misery, oh
[Verse 11]
Monitor outside
(His face was full of intent)
A monitor outside
(And we shook with excitement)
Monitor outside
(Then the victim stared up)
A monitor outside
(Looked strangely at the screen)
As if her pain was our fault
But that's entertainment
What we crave for inside
[Verse 12]
No more second rate movies
From those people outside
