The Lyrics
When through the web you crawl
When you make that call
Shopping in the mall
You might be quite appalled
To know we're watching you
That email that you send that you send
To your long lost friend
You know you can't defend
Your marriage it might end
Cos we'll be watching you
Oh don't you see
You're on cc TV
It's just a piece cake
Every step you take
Each time you swipe your card
You'd best be on your guard
I know it seems absurd
But we hear every word
We'll be watching you
Big brothers won
He's everywhere
You know he's on your case
He's intimate with the contours of your face
You DNA and you Iris never mind your name
You know you've only got yourself to blame
All you can do is try begging on your knees
That data that we mine
That tax return you sign
We're at it all the time
It's our grand design
We'll be watching you
Oh don't you see
You're on cc TV
It's just a piece cake
Every step you take
That data that we mine
That tax return you sign
We're at it all the time
It's our grand design
We'll be watching you

Well done. Creeps me out to think about it, but I don't show it, cause you never know who might be watching.
(Thinking frantically about all I've done here). That WAS spooky...it should have more votes. C'mon you all, it's a good one. 5's
thanks for the comments LOL!!!!
Tricky subject, handled well, Martha. Pacing was a bit off; you seemed to squeeze too many syllables into each line for it to ring true to the OS, although I sorta picked up your rhythm as I went along. 455
in case you're right Martha, let me just repeat out LOUD how thrilled and proud I am to pay every cent of my tax each year *looks around* - (psst - clever one, Martha - 555)
Was 1984 really 21 years ago? Good message, very well delivered, Martha.
(SOTM) Creepy..555
(sotm) Can they even see these comments. OOOOOOO-WOOOOO-OOOOOOO

(SOTM) Well articulated concept. I can see this in history textbooks in 200 years or so.
(SOTM) Message for the surveillance: Al-Qaida, anthrax, bloodbath, terror, bombs, revolution, death to America, war, mother of all wars, hate, kill bush, Spaff + masterpiece, world war three, etc... :-)
I swear one of these days there will be an ad on TV for a video of every questionable thing you've done in your life. And either you buy it for thousands of dollars or it will be aired on community cable. Great work, Martha My Dear.
Note to Peterchyd: I caught that coded message. Don't worry - I WILL send you more candid photos of those two neighborhood dogs. Stop begging.
