Got my eye pod
Got my eye phone
Got my laptop
Get my Twitter?
Got my Fox views
Got my faux news
Got my hardcore
Babysitter
Got the world in my smart phone
Relation cyber space
Much more social when alone
Then when we are face to face
With the world in my pocket
Everything will be just fine
Just as long as I don’t ask
In whose pocket resides mine
No one needs to spy on you
When your world is on display
Self serve surveillance
It’s the cost effective way
Every supermarket scanner
Knows the content of your stool
Every phone call that you make
Is considered by some tool
Of corporate oppression
Through government misrule
Object to terrorism
Subject to ridicule
No one needs to spy on you
When your world is on display
Self serve surveillance
It’s the cost effective way
Invite strangers into our homes
Into our heads, into our heart
Private lives as public tomes
As they pick our minds apart
Folks we’d revile on the street
Whom we’d give no time of day
Let them see us indiscreet
Freedom won’t get in the way
Show yourself
Show everybody
See yourself
Vision gets spotty
Be yourself
Impossibly naughty
Free yourself
Of being somebody
No one needs to spy on you
When your world is on display
Self serve surveillance
It’s the cost effective way
