i took a step back from today
and all things that pave the way
are watching me seLling me something
i tried so hard to find
an hOnest lie in these times
that would change my mind
instead of telling me that you're Selling me
all i wanted to do is crash
but i can't afford to pass out all the way
cause somebody's right behind me
and all i need is a little time
a little time to close my eyes
and drift away you better stay awake now
cause everybody knows everything all the time
(everybody knows everything)
and i wish there was a place for you and me to hide
(everybody knows everything)

take the man that has no Choice
stepped upon without a voice
well eventually he has to scream at someone
tie the truth around his hands
pluG him in to try and make him understand
eventually he will believe
cause al i wanted tO do is crash
but i can't afford to pass out all the way
caUse somebody's right behind me
and all i need is a little time
a little time to close my eyes
and drift away i betteR stay awake now
cause everybody knows everything all the time
(everybody knows everything)
and i wiSh there was place for you and me to hide
(everybody knows everything)
there's too much information for my mind
(way to much happening)
i wish there was a place for you and me to hide
(everybody knows everything)

when you wake up in the middlE of the night
and you still can't see will you remember me
said will you remember the sirens blarin and
the spotLights glarin in the streets
will you remember me said will you remember me
not as i am
cause eVerybody knows everything all the time
(everybody knows everything)
and i wish there was a place for you and me to hide
(everybody knows everything)
there's too much information for my mind
(way to much is happening)
and i wish thEre was a place for you and me to hide
(everybody knowS everything)
