I used to smile at the camera
|
But now it's on every corner
|
And everyone is staring
|
Ignorant or tired or caring
|
Or just completely used to feeling
|
Watched all the time
|
Or holding back a sense of freedom
|
That comes out late at night
|
|
It's out of control
|
|
Orwell's future science fiction
|
Ended up a near prediction
|
Smug the rebel's lonely chorus
|
'We saw it before it saw us'
|
Flick the page to a few years later
|
The novelty is out of date -- a
|
Problem redefined has gone
|
Now we're told it's what we wanted
|
|
It's out of control
|
It's out of control
|
It's out of control
|
|
Now everyone's on camera
|
And everyone's an actor
|
Here's a random factor
|
Someone took away the screen
|
E-motion pictures in 3-D
|
Beyond control the human being
|
Is freer than the one projected
|
|
Being watched to keep control
|
Of 'crime' -- A buzzword has its hold
|
Another such is 'you' -- it makes us
|
Follow where the message takes us
|
Either down the path to silence
|
Where no-one says more than they're told
|
Or to the realisation
|
Our containment needs permission
|
|
Our acceptance paves the way
|
That makes it worse when we get old
|
Grandad had so much to say
|
But all his anger had gone cold
|
|
Tried & tested, failed suppressed
|
Then new technology invested
|
Here's the future human being
|
Silent, nervous, dead or screaming
|
|
No! It's out of control!
|
No! No! It's out of control!
|
No! No! It's out of control!
|
|
No! No! It's out of control!
|
No! No! It's out of control!
|
No! No! It's out of control!
|
No! No! It's out of control!
|
No! No! It's out of control!
