Lyrics Panopticon - Coldcut

Panopticon

«So many people from so many backgrounds
So many different experiences, managed to
Come together with a common cause and
Think as if they were one person»
«When you get to look at what the young
People of the earth are doing now — all the
Younger generations here they’ve all got
Your number.
You’re obsolete — you’re already
History — no more of you need come
Through»
«Guilty of violence — guilty of violence —
Guilty of violence against the earth»
«All that is left is left is a single question — at which
Tree do we stop?
stop-stop-stop-stop-stop»
«You do not automatically have the right of way»
«Stop»
«This is a handcuff — this is what you have
To do to try and stay in your house when
They’re coming in to take you out — one of
Us puts our hand in this side, one in the
Other side, click a small handcuff in the
Middle, so that our hands are joined.
So
That our hands are joined»
«Lock on for what you believe in»
«Till the next time a tree gets in the way of progress»
«We now require you to leave the premises — we now require you to leave
The premises»
«Please be careful»
«Shame on you, shame on you, -repeat»
«Get in the way of progress»
«Lock on for what you believe in»
«Things go in cycles — repeat»
