lyrics

Chorus
If we're not paying, then we're what's sold.
Our information's taken but we have control.
If people stop displaying what's personal,
We could start to have a say in which companies fall.

Verse 1
We thought this information useless, helped the rise of the mutant,
they heard everything we said, recorded then consumed it.
Exported then resumed, kept all our points of view.
To run ads with precision, its a mission to target you like a missile,
the fact was we gave no dismissal. Allowing them to rape all our info,
morals degraded and minimal. Now they're at the state of invincible,
as the world shifts and integrates with the digital.

Study photographs Google map your (physical) location,
gather up the Facebook tags you're making,
ip address used for suburb placement,
four square tags your destination,

It's hard to recognize what we're facing,
Instagram photos with your face in, no way to erase them, while ASIO's collating.
Our information free the third parties hungry waiting.
Why don't we leave? uninterested and complacent.
Isn't Google friendly? Not if the government stop the payments.
Or threats to have their servers taken.
The bubbles breaking it's time stop contemplating,
they'll control the population from information l we gave them

Verse 2
We stay connected not connecting all the dots,
not just in the midst of corporate plots,
reminisce when your identity was lost.
Picture this, a profile that an entity wants,
so they can enter your thoughts,
help them invent a response.
So we post up our real name, date of birth,
if you're single or taken is learnt, whats your place of work?
Please explain your network, friends, colleagues,
family so we can know who-to address first.

Whether you're private or public, it doesn't matter,
because you can't hide it once you've given them all this data.
Consider it a part of, your digital passport.
Checking your profile is a government task force.
With Malware installs, devour all your thoughts,
whatever you type is stored. All your actions explored
the common thought
If you've got nothing to hide why you concerned,
Our privacy has died and we just watch the fire burn,

Verse 3
It seems the revolution will be televised
YouTube streaming live a million eyes,
so we can form our own picture to analyse.
Distinguish the truth as it gets swept aside,
accept the lies, every opinion given an equal right if its in line.

what can be posted. Who are the owners.
You, but YouTube Has equal rights to pursue.
Aim to confuse through their privacy policy
consolidates that obviously our data is their property.

Mined like a commodity. Fine by us as long as we.
Find their products all for free, why would you want anonymity?
Conceal your browser history? Sorry that search we can't delete.
Stored for 8 months then its scrambled supposedly.
Focusing indebted to notice the effects of their
growth on what embedded.
Our quotes are there forever lets hope.
We can disrupt corrupt through distrust from us,
Force change in the actions they conduct.
