lyrics

CCTV CAMERA OPERATOR:
In time

CRIMINAL:
With time

CCTV CAMERA OPERATOR:
We'll rust

CRIMINAL:
They'll rust

CCTV CAMERA OPERATOR:
But we've seen every speck of dust

CRIMINAL:
But they see every speck of dust

CCTV CAMERA OPERATOR:
With these

CRIMINAL:
They are

CCTV CAMERA OPERATOR:
Our eyes

CRIMINAL:
All eyes

CCTV CAMERA OPERATOR:
Do you think that we are suprised?

CRIMINAL:
How could we know they'd watch the skies?

CCTV CAMERA OPERATOR:
With this?

CRIMINAL:
Our shame

CCTV CAMERA OPERATOR:
At this?

CRIMINAL:
The line

CCTV CAMERA OPERATOR:
These crimes are desperate and unkind

CRIMINAL:
These crimes are desperate but divine

CCTV CAMERA OPERATOR:
And when the tape plays back we'll ask you
Don't you know your friends?

CRIMINAL:
Don't we know our friends?

CCTV CAMERA OPERATOR:
You think you can do things that we can't see
But we see the results immediately
By watching it all, for preventative gain
Seen enemies tracks, seen them on the train
Dark faces are tracked and recorded and mapped
Through a new way of living, we've never looking back
Dark wires and hand claps, avoid a scare

CCTV CAMERA SUPERVISOR:
That group of people lying down? Zoom in there!

CCTV CAMERA OPERATOR:
In time

CRIMINAL:
With time

CCTV CAMERA OPERATOR:
We'll rust

CRIMINAL:
They'll rust

CCTV CAMERA OPERATOR:
But we've seen every speck of dust

CRIMINAL:
But they see every speck of dust

CCTV CAMERA OPERATOR:
With these

CRIMINAL:
They are

CCTV CAMERA OPERATOR:
Our eyes

CRIMINAL:
All eyes

CCTV CAMERA OPERATOR:
Do you think that we are suprised?

CRIMINAL:
How could we know they'd watch the skies?

CCTV CAMERA OPERATOR:
With this?

CRIMINAL:
Our shame

CCTV CAMERA OPERATOR:
At this?

CRIMINAL:
The line

CCTV CAMERA OPERATOR:
These crimes are desperate and unkind

CRIMINAL:
These crimes are desperate but divine

CCTV CAMERA OPERATOR:
And when the tape plays back we'll ask you
Don't you know your friends?

CRIMINAL:
Don't we know our friends?
