24-Hour Documentary

No more incentives
To capture you
Participant is willing
To interview
You give them moments
Of precious time
Then you go on your way and
In bed you climb

But the camera keeps on rolling and the crew is always there
Oh
It's a twenty-four-hour affair
Researchers preoccupied with your reality
Can't you see
It's a documentary

Drive to the desert
Unfold a chair
Nobody pilfers your cards
In solitaire
Be you a mumbler
Or simply mute
Your voice will always echo
To those who bruit

And the camera's always rolling and the film reel never ends
Oh
It's a twenty-four-hour event
Debt collectors follow you to every hollow tree
Can't you see
It's a documentary

Documentary

Round the clock exposure on a permanent marquee
Oh
It's a documentary

Overhead is minimal and marketing is free
Oh
It's a documentary

When you return to your hovel
You'll hear a knock on your door

Ah

And the camera's always rolling and the crew is always there
Oh
It's a twenty-four-hour affair
Debt collectors follow you to every place you go
Don't you know

Seven billion people
And they know your middle name
Oh
It's a twenty-four-hour game
Old techniques for gathering
On new technology
Can't you see
It's a documentary
