Clandestine Lyrics by Tristen

Sneaker Waves

2017

Clandestine
Distracted by design
The signs're ignored again
The kids are bored again

And everybody knows
Only a fool plays by the rules
Can you be a smooth operator?
In a covert overture

On a seesaw of distracted watchmen
Where peace is only
A temporary re-retraction
Of one of the heads
Of a two-headed dog
Which side are you on
Consigliere to the boss?

You adapt so easily
You are taking your time
To follow the feelings of your melancholy mind
How soon we forget the world they gave us?
We are the new wavers
Ravers of the surveillance era
On a lazy river

We sleep all day
And tight lips sink ships
Still you are so afraid
Of the madness
When power remains
Clandestine

Clandestine
Distracted by design
The signs ignored again
The kids are bored again

Clandestine
Distracted by design
The signs ignored again
The kids are bored again

Clandestine
You had a pristine transition
To an entitled position
(We sleep all day
We sleep all day
And tight lips sink ships
Still you are so afraid)
You had a pristine transition
To an entitled position
(We sleep all day
And tight lips sink ships
Still you are so afraid
Of the madness
When power remains
Clandestine)
