DESCRIPTION:
This song is about government surveillance programs. The lyrics were written in 2004 but Prism, Edward Snowden, the NSA, it's all in there!

-----------------
Wire-tap tap me, come on,
My phone's an opened den.
Track, track, track me down,
I'm counting up to ten.
I couldn't win, I suppose...
My ascent is going on,
One rung on Echelon.
Don't know why my mail is checked,
But could you correct my spelling mistakes?
I won't feel lonely again,
Now that I'm in the game,
With so many new friends.
My wireless life had no aim.
There was no one I could blame.
Now I feel safer, Ha! Ha!
Technology's like a new friend.
At first, you trust it but in the end,
It becomes a hound dog betraying you.
In the Information era,
Here's the rhyme: right to spy ya!
It stands to reason. Treason, prison...
Who don't have a nanny in Homeland Nursery ?
Wire-tap tap me, come on
My phone's an opened den
Track, track, track me down
I'm counting up to ten
I couldn't win. Ha! Ha!
Diplomacy, private life,
Trading, politic strife...
Each country has paid the price
To succumb to its vice
Of omnisciency
I won't feel lonely again,
Now that I'm in the game,
With so many new friends.
My wireless life had no aim.
Hear the Word! Hear the Command!
Now I feel safer, Ha! Ha!
