about

This song was originally written for Ronald Reagan but like many of my songs it was really written for the future. It seems more for D. Trump now but who knows who it will eventually be for.

lyrics

When you open up your heart and you can’t find a trace of love
You can dig a little deeper but maybe you ain’t got the right stuff
You could plead insane
Or whoever does your thinkin’ maybe they’re to blame
I see the whites of your eyes
But the eyes in back your head see the whole world watching you
The whole world’s watching you

You can turn any knob make it dark make it light
You can turn down the sound make it black make it white
Pull out all your hair
It makes no difference how long you stare
When they die you can’t hear them cry
‘Cause the TV isn’t talkin’ but the whole world is watching you
The whole world’s watching you

50 cents a game
If you knew thy self you’d know thy shame
Let it be your job
To keep your hands on your face ‘cause the whole world’s watching you
The whole world’s watching you

I know you like to watch
But keep your hands to yourself ‘cause the whole world’s watching you
The whole world’s watching you
