The Lyrics
I've written several parodies using military drones, but taking a cue from OMR's angle yesterday I decided to skip the techo stuff and go that direction as UAVs and UCAVs are now patrolling US skies as well as foreign battlefields. The excuse is the War on Terror and Al Qaida, but is used increasingly by the police and Intel agencies to watch over population centers like Big Brother. Good against crime but an intrusion of privacy just like cameras on street lights and everywhere you go. The average citizen is now filmed several hundred times a day from the moment you leave your driveway, through traffic, in public, at businesses and at jobs everywhere. What happens when the Predators, Reapers, and Sentinels start making mistakes like police and fire on innocent people and at helpless innocent drivers?
Drones got their eyes on you
all the time
From RPV of World War II*
Spy convertin’
Battlefield searchin’
Fighter- just “un-manned” it
Prop spinnin’ ‘round
Hellfires are deadly
Too small on radar to shoot down
[One got lucky- a MiG Foxhound]
Drones got their eyes on you
All the time
In all climes
Civvy use
Threat excuse
Rights abuse
By Police and the Feds
And they don’t care
‘Bout security
Just citizens
[Roving Eyes descend]
AT pleas**
Drones got their eyes on you
All the time
(Infringe upon our liberties, so we’re LESS free!)

So, Rob, what number are you up to?
Rob - I figured that if anybody knew that the Third Reich had drones, it would be you. Be careful...the sleaze brothers (a whole pack of one-bombers) are back. ;D
@JAB-549!!! @OMR, yeah, I thought maybe someone hit my war stuff b/c of that... but they also hit my artist page too- 6 songs, so it must be personal. Over what- I have no idea. Seems like the top 10 vets are getting hit. I made #5 Top 10 Parodist yesterday and this happened. Coincidence???
We're not paranoid - we KNOW they're out to get us! ;^) And they are too - it's the same in the UK, with CCTV cameras on practically every street corner. A witty and razor-sharp take on the Big Brother state - 555.
