Surveillance Song

from Black Light Ambience by Chris Nelson

/

lyrics

Need to get some items, so I’m going to the grocery store
Wandering through the aisles, forgetting what I came for
Moving towards the checkout with my selections
The camera on the ceiling is there for my protection

It freaks me out, makes me want to scream and shout
Cameras everywhere always have to stare
My privacy’s been left in doubt

Back into the parking lot, out into the city streets
The pace of urban life moving at a steady beat
Avoiding other drivers often with a sense of fright
Wave to the camera mounted on the traffic light

It freaks me out, makes me want to scream and shout
Cameras everywhere always have to stare
My privacy’s been left in doubt
See me and listen to me on the phone
Free me, I just want to be alone

Talking on the telephone having conversations
While they listen in, protecting our great nation
Surfing on the Internet, looking for a new groove
Homeland Security’s busy watching every move

It freaks me out, makes me want to scream and shout
Cameras everywhere always have to stare
My privacy’s been left in doubt
See me and listen to me on the phone
Free me, I just want to be alone

Headed for the country, running from the city where air is fresh and the scenes are pretty
Lay in a hayfield staring at the sky under the view of the satellite’s eye…

It freaks me out, makes me want to scream and shout
Cameras everywhere always have to stare
My privacy’s been left in doubt
See me and listen to me on the phone
Free me, I just want to be alone
