Lyrics and translation
Original
Your wish is my command!
Have you heard this talk about eye contact
Gonna be the downfall of this town
First the photographs take you to the right hands
Leads you to the authority mold
Paranoia will write the world prayer
Make sure that you fit in and fill the right hole
But when you take his offer, you're done for
Done for, Oh!
Phantoms in pockets, we're in panic
Making order in total disgust
Oh, they read a list of all who cannot stay
Take you down, on the ground
Paranoia will write this world prayer
Make sure that you fit in the right holes
But when you take his offer, you're done for
Done for, Oh!
Make sure you learn to beware your neighbor
Bolt the doors and then hire your guards
Suck your life with their virus called language
Someone told you this all would go down
And the last thing you see is the luster
Hold the razor, goodbye to your friends
Would your underground please call the mayor
Call the neighbor, call your friends
Paranoia will write the world prayer
Make sure that you fit in the right holes
But will you forgo his offer
Done for, done for! Ohhh!
Well, when he first saw you, you'd need no protection
Eyes trained on your mouth, you gonna learn to take him
Hmmm. It's a brand new power. Oh!
Ohhhh
My friend had her questions right
Beware your neighbor
Haven't you heard, haven't you heard
That we're all done for. Ohhh
Learn to beware your neighbor
And the right mode
Haven't you heard?
Haven't you heard
That we're all done for, done for? Ohhh
When I count down from ten
You'll feel the lead in your lids
And you have no need to resist
And wake up refreshed
Hah!
