lyrics

IS IT A BIG SURPRISE, ARE WE REALLY THAT FOOLISH
WE AREN’T RESPONSIBLE, BUT WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO AVERT IT

I THOUGHT DEMOCRACY PROTECTS OUR PRIVACY
THIS IS OUR RIGHT,
THIS IS OUR LIFE

BUT YOU KNOW IT’S TRUE, THE BRIGHT HOUSE IS WATCHING YOU
WITHOUT REGARD,
WITH FULL CONVICTION

TALK IS CHEAP
WE DON’T ACT
NO ONE CARES
NO ONE BLAMES

WE’VE BEEN TRACKED OUR WHOLE LIVES
‘CAUSE ‘MERICA POLICE THE WORLD
FOR JUSTICE, EQUALITY AND LIBERTY
THE SICKEST JOKE I KNOW!

THE SICKEST JOKE I KNOW! THIS IS OUR LIFE!
OUR LIFE

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, SPEAKING THE TRUTH IS NOT A CRIME,
BUT TO ADVOCATE AND TOLERATE THE MASS SURVEILLANCE IS.
THERE IS NO PROSPECT OF AN END FOR THIS HARMFUL DEFECTION.
ONLY ‘CAUSE HE BLEW THE TRUTHFUL WHISTLE HE WAS FORCED FROM FAMILY

SPEAKING THE TRUTH IS NOT A CRIME
