They Care
In this age of anxiety
Our tolerant society
Has reason to fear for its future
For the cities are teaming with terrorists
Dreaming of new ways to bomb
Maim
Or shoot ya
But with crime on the increase and standards collapsing
You're constantly filled with dismay
Take heart with your backing
Your government's tracking you
Twenty four hours a day
They care, yes they care
They care what you do, they care why, when and where
And they see
Every move that you're making on CCTV
As you get out your cash from the hole in the wall
On the bus lanes, the junctions and down at the mall
And on every street corner, though they're no use at all
They are there
Oh, they care, yes they care
There's no download you make of which they're not aware
Yes they're here
And their need for details is truly sincere
With chips in your wheelie bins, chips in your car
And chips in your mobiles that show where you are
Don't think of these measures as going too far
For they care
They patrol (they patrol), they patrol (they patrol)
They approve every act that gives them more control
They're on guard
So that's why you must have an identity card
They will frequently give you a virtual frisk
And they'll store your whole life on a neat compact disc
If they lose it, it's called an acceptable risk
They don't care
Mmm (mmm), mmm (mmm)
Their DNA database grows every year
Here's the plan
They're refining their spyware as fast as they can
Oh, you voted them in, so their duty is clear
If you've nothing to hide, then you've nothing to fear
You will feel more secure now Big Brother is here
Oh, they care
But you'll be the loser when interests collide
'Cause they won't let you find out what they've got to hide
All too soon, you will see it's too late to decide
That you care
Oh, and if you protest, you'll be branded extreme
'Cause this isn't a government
It's a regime
And they're planning the day when we can't hear you scream
Scream
Scream
Scream
Scream
Scream
