Unwanted Company

Orwell was right, just thirty years early
Big brother’s watching, his methods are dirty
No one is safe, nothing is sacred
How did we get to this point?
Our leaders they know, yet damn they know nothing
Completely surprised by the powers they hold
Who’s buying your story? And who can be trusted?
Your lies are getting so old
Pre:
They read and they listen, they watch and record
You can’t have no secrets, alone you’re no more
Unwanted company — inside the system
Voyeurs in secrecy — outside the law
Everyone’s naked, vitreous to the core
Blame it on democracy — you’re safer than before
They say it’s protection, the enemy’s not sleeping
But can someone still tell who the enemy really is?
Who oversees the ones who control this
There’s no supervision at all?
In the name of the good, there’s no hesitation
No moral doubts or some deliberation
No more restrictions, all boundaries have fallen
Taboos have become obsolete
Pre:
They gain information, they store and report
You can’t have no secrets, alone you’re no more
Unwanted company — inside the system
Voyeurs in secrecy — outside the law
Everyone’s naked, vitreous to the core
Blame it on democracy — you’re safer than before
Ain’t that right?
Pre:
They watch and they learn and they’re breaking the law
You can’t have no secrets, alone you’re no more
Unwanted company — inside the system
Voyeurs in secrecy — outside the law
Everyone’s naked, vitreous to the core
Blame it on democracy — you’re safer than before
