You try to close your ears
And you try to close your eyes
But the blasphemies keep coming
Tempting you with lies

[Chorus:]
Give thanks for your protection
Your watchdogs of the night
Who hold the hungry wolves at bay
And keep them out of sight, out of sight
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/u/ub40/watchdogs_20141755.html ]
You just don't understand it
But it strikes a distant chord
So you look for away of escaping
And sanity's restored

[Chorus]

You focus your direction
Cloak tightly pulled around
But somewhere in the distance
You can hear a haunting sound

[Chorus]

You're in danger of corruption
And you're always running scared
You cannot make decisions
You're completely unprepared

[Chorus]
