Fingerprint file, you get me down
You keep me running, know my way around, yes you do, child
Fingerprint file, you get me down, keep me running, you keep me on the ground
Know my moves, way ahead of time, listening to me on your satellite, yeah
Feeling followed, feeling tagged, crossing water, trying to wipe my tracks
And there's some little jerk in the FBI, a-keepin' papers on me, six feet high
It gets me down, it gets me down, it gets me down
You better watch out on your telephone, wrong number, they know you ain't home
And there's some little jerk in the FBI, a-keepin' papers on me, six feet high
It gets me down, it gets me down, it gets me down
Who's the man on the corner, that, that corner over there
I, I don't know, well, you better lay low, watch out
Keep on the look out, electric eyes, rats on the sell out, who gonna testify
You know my habits way ahead of time, listening to me on your satellite
And there's some little jerk in the FBI, a-keepin' papers on me, six feet high
It gets me down, it gets me down, it gets me down, it gets me down
Hello baby, yeah, you know, we ain't, we ain't talkin' alone, who's listening?
Well, I don't really know, but you better tell the SIS to keep out of sight
'Cause I know they takin' pictures on the ultraviolet light
Yes, yeah, but, but these days it's all secrecy, no privacy, shoot first, that’s right
You know, bye bye, who's listening?
Right now somebody is listening to you, keep eyes peeled on you
What a price, what a price to pay, all right
Good night, sleep tight
