I took a step back from today

And all the 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 your selling me



And all I wanted to do is crash

But I can't afford to pass out all the way

Somebody's right behind me

And all I need is a little time

A little time to close my eyes and drift away

You'd better stay awake now



Cause everybody knows everything all the time

(Everybody knows everything)

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

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



And all I wanted to do is crash

But I can't afford to pass out all the way

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)

I wish there was a place for you and me to hide

(Everybody knows everything)

There's too much information for my mind

(Way too 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 blaring

And the spotlights glarin in the streets

Will you remember me

So will you remember me

Not as I am



Cause everybody knows everything all the time

(Everybody knows everything)

I wish there was a place for you and me to hide

(Everbody knows everything)

There's too much information for my mind

(Way too much is happening)

I wish there was a place for you and me to hide

(Everybody knows everything
