Monitor Songtext
von Siouxsie and the Banshees

Monitor outside
For the people inside
A prevention of crime
A passing of time

They come and they go
It′s a passing of time
They come and they go
Whilst we sit in our homes

Sit back and enjoy
The real McCoy
Our new air of authority
Our sentinel of misery

His face was full of intent
And we shook with excitement
Then the victim stared up
Looked strangely at the screen
As if her pain was our fault
But that's entertainment


What we crave for inside
No more second rate movies
From those people outside

Monitor outside
For the people inside
A prevention of crime
A passing of time

A monitor outside
A monitor outside

They come and they go
It′s a passing of time
They come and they go
Whilst we sit in our homes

Sit back, sit back, sit back
Sit back and enjoy
The real McCoy

Our new air of authority
Our sentinel of misery

Monitor outside


His face was full of intent
And we shook with excitement
Then the victim stared up
Looked strangely at the screen
As if her pain was our fault
But that's entertainment

What we crave for inside
No more second rate movies
From those people outside
