lyrics

Panopticon

The all seeing eye
The watchtower
The eye in the sky
Keeps you in line
Too afraid to stray outside the paradigm
You police yourself
A Man made hell of surveillance
Do you feel safer?
Do you have nothing to fear
because you’ve nothing to hide?
RFID chips in clothing
in money
in your food
in your body
Doesn’t matter if someone is watching because they might be
That’s enough to make you conform
Never question
Never pick your nose
Never Steal something
Always come to a complete stop
The Panopticon hovers
monolithic
in the background
of all your actions
making you the observer
policing yourself
The panopticon
a shadow in your mind
in the background of all your thoughts
making you innocuous
Cameras not brick walls
keep you imprisoned
enslaved to a belief that you have everything to lose, if caught
Caught for what you never know
Play it safe, wherever you go
You cannot shake the feeling
that someone will see you for what you really are
Guilty, before proven innocent
Guilty, before you’re accused
Guilty, for thinking bad thoughts
Guilty, broken down and abused
You Cower You cringe
Please don’t see me in my weakness
You on your best behavior
a performance for no one
The culture of fear is encouraged by the feeling
of someone watching you
Warrantless wiretaps
Social media data mining
It all creates an atmosphere of being observed
Watched, by them - the ones who make the rules
Spooks in a virtual horror show of spies and torture
Control
It’s what they want
It’s what you give
