While you were sleeping
They came and took it all away
The lanes and the meadows
The places where you used to play

It was an inside job
By the well-connected
Your little protest
Summarily rejected

It was an inside job
Like it always is
Chalk it up to business as usual

While we are dreaming
This little island disappears
While you are looking the other way
They'll take your right to own your own ideas


And it's an inside job
Favors collected
Your trusted servants
Have left you unprotected


It was an inside job
Like it always is
Just chalk it up
To business as usual

You think that you're so smart
But you don't have a fucking clue
What those men up in the towers
Are doing to me and you


And they'll keep doin' it and doin' it
And doin' it and doin' it
And doin' it and doin' it
And doin' it and doin' it
Until we all wake up

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
I know what I've done wrong
I am acquainted with the night
I know how hard it is
To always walk out in the light


And it's an inside job
To learn about forgiving

It's an inside job
To hang on to the joy of living

They know the road by which you came
They know your mother's maiden name
And what you had for breakfast
And what you've hidden in the mattress

Insect politics
Indifferent universe
Bang your head against the wall
But apathy is worse

It's an inside job
It's an inside job
It's an inside job
Yeh, yeah
It's an inside job

2. He's a good man.

The more famous of his songs concerning the environment here.

3. The insiders rightly pegged musicians as a threat.

They proposed a way to grab the radio stations to prevent a re-occurrence of a phenomenon we all witnessed in the 1960s and early 1970s where young people were united through music. It was a radical step.

So the insiders carried off that little operation without a hitch and our music suffered tremendously as a result.

Hey, it was for the good of the nation.

I'm sure Don Henley is on a list somewhere, listed as an undesirable. That list must be awfully long by now.
