Black tape on the webcam
Pigs might spectate while I'm going ham
We supported and appreciate Snowden
Still not ready to vacate the program
In an era of peak hypocrisy
We all want to see, leaked debauchery
Whether a celeb or the sweet girl down the street
Catch it on the news, some seek it constantly
I've seen more death than an active soldier
HD gore from a rancid culture
I don't even flinch, replay when it's over
I see the whole world while I lay on my sofa
Not relevant enough, I'm not a POI
It's the principal, dog, I shouldn't need to hide
The silicon tech lords have besieged your mind
Somehow convinced you their greed's benign
We're not angry enough, this is egregious
They don't need permission to hit your GPS
Mobiles getting bugged, little sneaky pests
Denied the transparency we request
They're selling your activities to the highest bidder
The all seeing eye never seems to flicker
Now the mics can pick up even a slight whisper
All this to make a couple of guys richer
If it isn't for the money then it's influence
Fraudulent elections and tragic events
Blank checks being signed so you believe coincidence
Sacrifice privacy for national defence
They can hack any phone, it's scary I'm spooked
Using software developed by nefarious groups
They say the war on terror is a valid excuse
It's just human nature, we all love to snoop
If I had the same powers as MI6
I don't truly believe that I'd resist
To be a fly on the wall or a spy in the flicks
To steal your property, no signs or prints
To not eavesdrop on a past acquaintance
Or see the real side of a star that's famous
Everybody's game all daft to the dangers
Until your stuff leaks and it's your arse on them pages
Curiosity kills but it also rewards
How many people have died that started off bored
I bet the higher-ups know
This info is stored
And utilised in today's psychological war
Go incognito, use a VPN
Either way it's being seen on the other end
God help us when these geeks seek revenge
Excluded, so they watch, how it's always been
Surveillance is the weapon, fear is the ammo
Journalists getting bugged I wish I was parro
Looking down on us, we're like fish in a barrel
The invisible hand with the quickest of strangles
Tech advancements came with digital manacles
Made to be addictive, worse with every dose
We bow to these devices, looking all comatose
That's how we socialise nowadays I suppose
When they click-itty-clack, it's not a 4-5
More like malware that will destroy your life
The whole world will see you and swarm like a hive
Be a victim all you want, they ignore your cries
Masterful how they manipulate group toxicity
The dangers of triggering selective sympathy
From a sleuth of care bares to mob out of Sicily
The strings in our mind(s) are woven intricately
