A song about governmental surveillance.

lyrics

Hey new friend
there was an attempt
to prove your identity today!
They searched through databases,
worst scenario cases,
but the traces seem to be delayed!

We can't save you
We can't break through
The wall of silence
They called self-defence.

No matter what you're like
it's survival of the one's that fit.
Black, Jew, gay, punk – your right
is what gets hit.
You're different from what's used to be
and everyone around.
We're so ashamed of this catastrophe
called “protecting ground”.

Since you've appeared in town
you have been watched
with every step you did.
Your iris' been scanned,
your fingerprint's banned
from the areas that benefit.

When things turn ugly, where will it end?
Guantanamo Bay here we come, me and my new friend!

If we are the threat, then who is to be threatened?
And if we are doomed, who spoke out...

These methods of mass tracing
for “homeland security”
degrade every individual
to a body of glass.
And people that are less integrated
get even more outsourced constantly.

When things turn ugly, where will it end?
Guantanamo Bay here we come, me and my new friend!
But if we are the threat, then who is to be threatened?
And what if we are dead, who will be next?

If we're doomed!

We don't wanna be see-throughs
We don't wanna be from glass
We want individuals
not one silenced phoney class.
