“The Watchers”


Intro


Watch what you write Watch what you read,

Watch what you bought Watch what you see

Watch what you thought Watch what you speak

Hide who you are, Deny your dreams


Verse 1:

Minds behind bars I got the key

They already know who we are

So Let’s get free

Listen to your heart it’s time to speak

Is this the demise of democracy

Secret laws secret courts secret prisons

illegal wars illegal torture illegal killings

The proof is leaking Behind closed doors

Truths a beacon, the calm before the storm

We’re all suspects now, get informed

don’t back down become a force

huh... they say this is liberty

we can change the course of history

The time is ours,

Information is power

Get louder and louder

Information is power

Get louder and louder


Hook:

while the truths held hostage

Who watches the watchers? (x 3)

while the truths held hostage (x 3)

Who watches the watchers?


Verse 2:

It’s about to pour the clouds are forming

Boundless informants, hound us without warrants

Meta-data recorded, stored, collected,

War is the health of the corporate-state of exception

Surveillance the cornerstone of oppression

predictive analytics Biometric systems,

geo-spatial satellite positions

trace us with millimeter precision

Cameras on every street corner and building

Iris Scans, facial recognition

These are the ghosts of eugenics

even control has it’s limits,

We won’t fall for this the pit is bottomless

monopolists want full spectrum dominance

politicians went from paranoid to monstrous- -

electronic reconnaissance

Controls your consciousness

Data retentions limitless…

Indefinite detention of dissidents

It’s villainous

the lies they sell us

They terrify the rebellious

& demonize the truth-tellers
