Peek-a-boo!
I can see you
And I know what you do
So put your hands on your face
And cover up your eyes
Don't look until I signal
Peek-a-boo! peek-a-boo! peek-a-boo!
The way that we weren't is what we'll become
So please pay attention while I show you some
Of what's about to happen
Peek-a-boo!
I know what you do
Cause I do it too
Laugh if you want to or say you don't care
If you cannot see it you think it's not there
It doesn't work that way

    My Interpretation

    Well, this is a different take on things. I believe it to be about people who think they can get away with everything, or at least cut corners and cheat when it suits them. However, that kind of thing can never work forever. For example, in the video they show a guy on an old exercising machine while drinking a milkshake. They're implying that cheating on a diet won't help you lose weight. Rationalizing doing the wrong thing is a very deevolved thing. The devil clowns with the pills swirling around them is actually from a Spanish public service announcement in the early 1980's that tries to equate using illegal drugs with evil. Here they're using it to equate doing bad things with evil. (As they say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.) The underlying message is this: instead of doing wrong, do right. One of the biggest lies then (and it's only gotten worse) that we teach people is that it's okay to break the rules as long as you're not caught.
