Inside Job is the from the self-titled album by American rock musician Don Henley. The song was released in 2000 and deals with Zionist, corporate and governmental control of the nation.
For those with eyes wide open, it’s evident that much of what transpires in the world today is an "inside job." From the phoney war on terror, removal of liberties, invasion of privacy, governmental control and rise of the police state, it’s not a stretch to implicate the US administration and its cronies in the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Some of the issues Henley discloses are individuals rights versus corporations rights when it comes to intellectual property. If you are working for a company and come up with an idea and try to patent it, nearly all corporations have legal rights to the idea first, unless they reject it and allow you to pursue it.
Your "trusted servants" are the quislings in government who are supposed to serve you, but have done nothing to limit the scope of control corporations have with industrial espionage and the lobbyists in Washington.
Regardless of what the public knows about secret governments and back-room deals with corporations, "they just keep doing it and doing it."
Henley also alludes to Big Brother and its spy network that has nothing to do with the safety of the public, but instead its enslavement. If you're apathetic about evil in the world and what transpires in government and allow it to continue, you will be much worse off down the road.
"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"
“Inside Job is my view of the world from this particular time and place. My marriage and the birth of my children have had a profound effect. Despite all the sham and selfishness, life is still good. Children constantly rekindle hope and appreciation -- and they have excellent bullshit detectors. It’s a wonderful thing.” — Don Henley
INSIDE JOB
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
