Lyrics
They got one eye watching you
There is constant surveillance, someone is observing you with vigilance.
One eye on what you do
The observer is closely monitoring your actions.
So be careful who it is you're talking to
Caution is advised in choosing who you communicate with.
They got one eye watching you
Continued emphasis on surveillance, reinforcing the theme of being watched.
One eye on what you do
Reiteration of the observer's focus on your activities.
So be careful what it is you're trying to do
Warning to be mindful of your intentions and actions.
And be careful when you're walking in the view
Cautionary advice when moving within the observer's sight.
Just be careful when you're walking in the view
Repetition of caution when being visible to the watcher.
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Expressive sounds, possibly indicating a mood or atmosphere.
Got one eye on the road and one on you
The observer is dividing attention between your actions and the road.
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Repetition of expressive sounds, maintaining a certain emotional tone.
Got one eye on the road and one on
The observer is still divided between your actions and the road.
They got one eye watching you
Reiteration of the constant surveillance theme.
And one eye on what you do
Emphasis on the watcher's attention to your actions.
So be careful 'cause nothing they say is true
Caution about the lack of truth in what the observer may say.
D-don't believe a word, it's us against the world
Encouragement not to believe the observer; emphasizing unity against external influence.
And we just got to turn up to be heard
Advocating for collective effort to be noticed and heard.
Hear the crocodiles ticking 'round the world
Imagery of ticking crocodiles symbolizing hidden dangers worldwide.
Hear those crocodiles ticking, they go ticking 'round the world
Repetition of the crocodile imagery, reinforcing the idea of global threats.
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Continuation of the expressive sounds, maintaining an emotional atmosphere.
Got one eye on the road and one on you
The observer is still divided in attention between your actions and the road.
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Repetition of expressive sounds, sustaining the emotional tone.
Got one eye on the road and
Continuation of the observer's divided attention.
You could hear them climbing the stairs
Introduction of auditory elements, possibly indicating a looming threat.
I got my right side fighting while
Conflict portrayed between the right side (fighting) and the left side (hiding).
My left hides under the chairs
The left side seeks refuge under the chairs, emphasizing vulnerability.
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Repetition of expressive sounds, maintaining the emotional ambiance.
Got one eye on the road and one on you
Observer's attention remains divided between your actions and the road.
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Repetition of expressive sounds, preserving the emotional context.
Got one eye on the road and one on you
Continued division of attention by the observer between your actions and the road.
