In The Pocket Lyrics

You’re free to look back all you want
Just don’t turn around, don’t make a sound
You can go anywhere you’d like
As long as it’s outbound away from this town

Don’t be afraid to peep it, just can’t keep it
We want you all to shop it, just don’t stop it
It’s there for you to see it, not to be it
It’s more for you to fear it than to hear it

You’re free to choose what you wish
As long as it is picked from our list
The last thing that we want from you is to resist
‘Cause then you can’t exist

Shiny, shiny, teeny, tiny, eeny, meeny, miny, moe
Heidi ho, quid pro quo
To and fro, catch a tiger by her toe
Let her go, watch her fall like a domino
Hot potato, hot potato, ’nuff to glow
Not to throw, not allowed to even let it go
So you know, you’re mostly just for show
Absolutely no veto power to bestow

We shouldn’t have to explain that you’re in our lane
This is our domain
We kindly ask you to abstain
Refrain from any saying that goes against the grain

The truth is that we need you, but we won’t feed you
There’s nothing we’ll concede to, you get no redo
The truth does not just bleed through, trust us it’s untrue
Don’t do what you agreed to, you’re guaranteed through

If you want to stay alive continue to arrive at your nine-to-five
We really do want you to thrive, so do strive to mind the hive

We shouldn’t have to explain that you’re in our lane
This is our domain
We kindly ask you to abstain
Refrain from any saying that goes against the grain

The truth is that we need you, we just won’t feed you
Us you will not run into, we stay out of view
Dip into your revenue, oh we intend to
No clue that we can read you, you’re so see through
We sure got you
