KYEO Lyrics

the troops are quiet tonight, but it's not alright, because we know they're planning something. don't you know things have settled down, down, down but silence is a dangerous sound, we must, we must, we must keep our eyes open, see what we see, what once was promised now will be. still uncertain? get off that hang, don't wait for the bang, the tools, they will be swinging, but we will not be beaten down.

Because ignorance breeds destruction Ian,Guy and the others are most probably watching video productions such as "who killed john o'neill" or listening to Richard Andrew Grove's account of 9\11.Then sounding the alarm!!Love the song. If you do to? do the same

"Keep Your Eyes Open"

It's a military acronym.

I first heard them perform this song at an abortion rights protest show outside the Supreme Court. It follows "Dear Justice Letter" on the album, so I always interpreted this to have a broader meaning than being about war/military. It is about keeping your eyes open for all abuses of power, taking away constitutional freedoms, etc.
