Citizen Fish

I used to smile at the camera
But now its on every corner
And everyone is staring
Ignorant or tired or caring
Or just completely used to feeling
Watched all the time
Or holding back a sense of freedom
That comes out late at night
Its out of control
Orwells future science fiction
Ended up a near prediction
Smug the rebels lonely chorus
We saw it before it saw us
Flick the page to a few years later
The novelty is out of date -- a
Problem redefined has gone
Now were told its what we wanted
Its out of control
Its out of control
Its out of control
Now everyones on camera
And everyones an actor
Heres a random factor
Someone took away the screen
E-motion pictures in 3-D
Beyond control the human being
Is freer than the one projected
Being watched to keep control
Of crime -- A buzzword has its hold
Another such is you -- it makes us
Follow where the message takes us
Either down the path to silence
Where no-one says more than theyre told
Or to the realisation
Our containment needs permission
Our acceptance paves the way
That makes it worse when we get old
Grandad had so much to say
But all his anger had gone cold
Tried & tested, failed suppressed
Then new technology invested
Heres the future human being
Silent, nervous, dead or screaming
No! Its out of control!
No! No! Its out of control!
No! No! Its out of control!
No! No! Its out of control!
No! No! Its out of control!
No! No! Its out of control!
No! No! Its out of control!
No! No! Its out of control!
