1984’s come back to haunt us,
as we cross the new frontier.
Intrusion’s given precedence
over privacy we held dear.
We claim a liberal heritage,
won through struggle, dissent and war.
But the freedoms we’ve shed blood for
don’t seem important anymore.
Hidden eyes are watching,
but who’s sitting behind the lens?
Four million cameras watching;
don’t think that they’re your friends.
Do nothing wrong, you’ll be fine;
you’ve got nothing left to fear.
But the eyes on every street corner
mean that judgement’s always near.
But who decides what’s offensive?
Who decides what’s wrong?
A definition of unacceptable
depends on where you’re starting from.
In today’s political climate,
you might be free to speak your views.
But your words and every action
can be recorded and then used.
Implied threat of persecution,
intimidation to comply.
The knock might come upon your door
and you’ll never know why.
