Mission Creep

Head down as the
Sirens scream past
Off the grid, leave your
Phone at home and
Hide your face from the
Covert cameras
Say cheese, you know you're
Never alone with a
Drone in the air as you
Walk on by while they
Watch from above with the
Eye in the sky
And they tell you that it's
All for your benefit
To keep you from harm
To stop the terrorists

Mission creep as they
Chip away at your
Civil liberties

(Smartphone zombie)
No need to chip you
You give us all we need
(Browser history)
We see what you're thinking
We know what you watch and read
(Analytics)
We know where you've been
We know your routine
(Algorithms)
Computing the future
We're coming to get you

They killed cash so you
Have to pay with your
Phone or your card, so you
Leave a trace
In the digital domain there's a
Data crunch, now they
Know what you drink and they
Know how much and
Big Data is exactly the same as
Big Brother, just the name has been changed to
Protect the guilty
Obscure the fact that
Your freedom is a lie, that you're
Under surveillance

Mission creep as they
Chip away at your
Civil liberties

(Smartphone zombie)
No need to chip you
You give us all we need
(Browser history)
We see what you're thinking
We know what you watch and read
(Analytics)
We know where you've been
We know your routine
(Algorithms)
Computing the future
We're coming to get you

And now they sell you a spy that you
Bring into your home
Like a Trojan Horse with a
Built in microphone
Harvest your data to
Work in league with your
Mobile phone and your
Smart TV
Watch what you watch
Hear what you say
Loose lips
Sink ships

Mission creep as they
Chip away at your
Civil liberties

(Smartphone zombie)
No need to chip you
You give us all we need
(Browser history)
We see what you're thinking
We know what you watch and read
(Analytics)
We know where you've been
We know your routine
(Algorithms)
Computing the future
We're coming to get you
