Social Security from Not Alone by Raw Nerves

Conspiracy of surveillance state
Next to reality seems so tame
The intimate moments that we share
Are filed and stored away
Discussion and opinion
Tagged and classified
The liberties that they take
Leave only what’s inside
They say it’s for protection
It’s there to keep us safe
But there is no security
When our lives are held in their bloody hands
Cynical system of control
As if it’s in our best interest
A sacrifice at the altar
Of global hegemony
Inalienable rights are platitudes
Where nation is concerned
And justice is an afterthought
When capital’s in play
They say it’s for protection
It’s there to keep us safe
But there is no security
When our lives are held in their bloody hands
The expression of our freedom
Is passed between our eyes
