But, I said &#8220;Eff it, this is going to be a pre-album single, and I don&#8217;t care if it is radio friendly or not.&#8221; Sort of like when I released From the Center as a single last year. Sometimes a songs story is just begging to be highlighted. This idea and chorus had been in my head so long that by the time I recorded it, it felt like I had heard it a 1000 times. That&#8217;s how close I got this to my orginal idea. As a songwriter, I can&#8217;t ignore that. This entire album is like that. Hell! I might release all 17 tracks as a single. This is my best work and nothing will rival it.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em><strong>EVERYONE\u2019S A SPY<\/strong><\/em> Lyrics: Copyright 2026 Darren Farris Music (ascap)<\/p>\n<p>\u200b[Verse 1]<\/p>\n<p>Shadows moving down a cobblestone street,<br \/>\nWhere the double-crossers and the handlers meet.<br \/>\nThey\u2019re passing the microfilms under the table,<br \/>\nWriting up stories that no one is able<br \/>\nTo trace back to truth, to trace back to home,<br \/>\nLost in the capital chambers alone.<br \/>\nWhispering secrets behind a dive bar,<br \/>\nWondering who the hell informants really are.<\/p>\n<p>\u200b[Chorus]<\/p>\n<p>Now everyone\u2019s a spy, working for the other side,<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s all for the greater good,<br \/>\nSo very misunderstood.<br \/>\nFrom Moscow to Beijing and back to D.C.,<br \/>\nThe only real truth that is calling to me<br \/>\nIs I can&#8217;t wait to get back home,<br \/>\nTo you&#8230;<br \/>\nTo you&#8230;<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s all for you.<\/p>\n<p>\u200b[Verse 2]<\/p>\n<p>Suitcases packed with a handful of cash,<br \/>\nBurning the documents down to the ash.<br \/>\nYou smile at a stranger who\u2019s watching your code,<br \/>\nReading the threat in a typewritten note.<br \/>\nThey buy all the loyalty money can trace,<br \/>\nTrading out names for a blank-slate face.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s a game of illusions, a room full of glass,<br \/>\nWaiting for midnight to finally pass.<\/p>\n<p>\u200b[Chorus]<\/p>\n<p>Now everyone\u2019s a spy, working for the other side,<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s all for the greater good,<br \/>\nSo very misunderstood.<br \/>\nFrom Moscow to Beijing and back to D.C.,<br \/>\nThe only real truth that is calling to me<br \/>\nIs I can&#8217;t wait to get back home,<br \/>\nTo you&#8230;<br \/>\nTo you&#8230;<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s all for you.<br \/>\nI love you!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u200b[Bridge]<\/p>\n<p>Through the safehouses, through the wire&#8230;<br \/>\nWalking right over the line of fire.<br \/>\nLet &#8217;em trade secrets, let &#8217;em play the game,<br \/>\nWhen I get back, I&#8217;m dropping the name!<\/p>\n<p>\u200b[Chorus\/Coda]<\/p>\n<p>Now everyone\u2019s a spy, working for the other side,<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s all for the greater good,<br \/>\nSo very misunderstood.<\/p>\n<p>From Moscow to Beijing and back to D.C.,<br \/>\nThe only real truth that is calling to me<br \/>\nIs I can&#8217;t wait to get back home,<br \/>\nTo you&#8230;<br \/>\nTo you&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>From Moscow to Beijing and back to D.C.,<br \/>\nThe only real truth that is calling to me<br \/>\nIs I can&#8217;t wait to get back home,<br \/>\nTo you&#8230;<br \/>\nI love you<br \/>\n\u200b<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DARREN FARRIS NEW RELEASE \u26a0\ufe0f ALERT!!! &nbsp; From Moscow to Beijing and back to D.C. the only real truth that is calling to me, is I can&#8217;t wait to get back home to you.
