Partly inspired by the John Carpenter sci-fi movie, They Live.

A very private person
from a very private nation
never up close and personal
never in your face
goes to the store in his car
meets people online
draws the curtains
and stays inside
A very private person
a man with no name
just tryin' to be the same
no better than anyone else
He lives, he lives from day to day
doesn't get in the way

Going public with nothing
keeping his head down
something's happening,
something's goin' on
a very private person
never up close and personal
never in your face
never a joker or whistleblower
conform submit obey
he lives, he lives from day to day
doesn't get in the way
he'll marry reproduce and buy
a big house some day.
