Good Riddance Black Bag Confidential Lyrics

Black Bag Confidential Lyrics

Conciliation breeds a fourth amendment funeral

With the paranoid seduced by circumstance

The sycophants withdrawing even further

When systematically denied their final chance

Their final chance



Somebody’s following you home at night

And they’re into what you throw away

Bills and statements, date of birth, social security

It’s all they need to file your life away



And they’re wide awake

They got wild, staring eyes

Make no mistake

They will appropriate your lives

Your lives

Lives

Your lives



So now you’re relatively safe

In your suburbanite disguise

Until you see your neighbour

He’s got murder in his eyes



You can stand alone or fall

But your life still slips away

Sequestered in your sterile homes

You keep the wolves at bay

The drones of wealth and power

Bombard your frightened mind

Keep your doors and windows 

Locked and barred

Against the world
