From the recording LifeSpan - 2015
I always liked the idea from Rockwells Song "Somebody's Watching Me". It was so easy to write as its one part ego, one part humor, one part paranoia and just an overall testament to self absorbsion. I really don't feel this way about myself at all, and it was a song I put together to play out live at the local open mics in Summit County when I moved here. It goes over great live so I threw it on the CD.
Lyrics
Chorus:I’m being watched by that girl right there she acts cool like she don’t careI’m being watched by the authorities I don’t comb my hair and I speedI’m being watched by my landlord too she said all my rent checks all fell throughI’m being watched by that cop right there he wants to give me the electric chair But there’s a day when all this will be overAnd I can spend some time to myself& In the night I’m calm and I’m in orderBut that don’t change the fact Chorus:I’m being watched by that girl right there she’s acting cool like she don’t careI’m being watched by the authorities I don’t comb my hair and I speedI’m being watched by my landlord too she said all my rent checks all fell throughI’m being watched by that cop right there he wants to give me the electric chair And when you think its over, you see it coming round againJust when you think it’s over, the trouble’s right around the bendand some would say this is luck but I said it’s enoughThe crowd is moving in again. And in the night I’m calm and I’m in orderAnd I’m not tired and bored with myselfI tell myself I have to put up boardersBut that don’t change the fact I’m being watched Chorus:I’m being watched by that girl right there she’s acting cool like she don’t careI’m being watched by the authorities I don’t comb my hair and I speedI’m being watched by my landlord too she said all my rent checks all fell throughI’m being watched by that judge right there he wants to give me the electric chair I’m being watched by the IRS they say pay my taxes like the restI’m being watched by that talent scout she just came, to check me outI’m being watched by the Governor I got pictures from his life beforeI’m being watched by the Hollywood, I don’t act…..but I could
