A Bright Cold Day In April |
It was a bright cold day in April the clocks |
were striking on thirteen when she checked the mailbox. |
She yawned and took her place, |
numbered and indexed and neat in the database. |
Just looked the same as any old letter, |
in it drop, tear the top, and a card inside. |
They say that it’ll make our lives better. |
Nothing to fear if you’ve got none to hide. |
You’ll be data protected, you’ll be part of the team |
now that you’re a number on the screen. |
All securely connected to the central machine |
now that you’re a number on the screen. |
Outside, the sky, was shiny and blue, |
the officer stopped her and scanned all her details through. |
She smiled because she knew |
that he was from England because he had a nice card too. |
The fingerprint it didn’t upset her, |
for these laws in the wars he fought and died. |
They say that it’ll make our lives better, |
nothing to fear if you’ve got none to hide. |
You’ll be data protected, you’ll be part of the team |
now that you’re a number on the screen. |
All securely connected to the central machine |
now that you’re a number on the screen. |
Your attention! |
Our survey says our system has total public approval |
of our use of your data for preventioneering of illegals, |
full obliteration of dole scrounge tacticians |
and further elucidation of preventative counter measures on the continued war |
on terror. |
So there is no reason for you to worry. |
Things are under control. |
It was a bright cold day in April the clocks |
were striking on thirteen when she checked the mailbox. |
By then it was too late to save civil liberties we don’t appreciate. |
