lyrics

Pull the blinds shut, turn the lights off
Don’t let them see, don’t let them watch
Cover your camera with black tape
There’s always a red dot you can never escape
Never be free

I’ll be on display
But I don’t want to be seen
Have to stay engaged
But they’ve got files on me
You can look over your shoulder
Erase your history
But you bought what they sold you
Gave it up for free

They say they shut it down, they pulled the plug
NSA, CIA and corporations
It’s a panopticon, it’s a police state
Better keep your head down, better clean your slate
Blend in

I’ll be on display
But I don’t want to be seen
Have to stay engaged
But they’ve got files on me
You can look over your shoulder
Erase your history
But you bought what they sold you
Gave it up for free

But nowhere’s safe and no one’s anonymous
They’ve got a list of the American populace
So give in if you’ve got nothing to hide
Don’t you trust us? Don’t you want to survive?

I’ll be on display
But I don’t want to be seen
Have to stay engaged
But they’ve got files on me
You can look over your shoulder
Erase your history
But you bought what they sold you
Gave it up for free
