Monitor

Monitor outside

For the people inside

A prevention of crime

A passing of time

The come and they go

It's a passing of time

They come and they go

Whilst we sit in our homes

Sit back and enjoy

The real McCoy

Our new air of authority

Our sentinel of misery

His face was full of intent

And we shook excitement

Then the victim stared up

Looked strangely at the screen

As if her pain was our fault

But that's entertainment

What we crave for inside

No more second rate movies

From those people outside
