Trust Us

Incessant, the bleating
The message keeps repeating
Close your hearts, lock the door
No end to this forever war.

Insipid, misleading
Platitudes devoid of meaning
"We had to burn the village down to save it"

Here's the price to keep you safe:
We're watching you
While you sleep we're wide awake
We're watching you
Your life is in our database
So watch yourself

Trust us, we're on the brink
Trust us, worse than you think
Trust us, our way of life sits on the edge of a knife

Say you want the truth?
It's easier when you're distracted
Say you want the proof?
We're sorry but that's been redacted

Here's the price to keep you safe:
We're watching you
While you sleep we're wide awake
We're watching you
Your life is in our database
So watch yourself

Trust us, we're on the brink
Trust us, worse than you think
Trust us, our way of life is gone unless you
Trust us, we're on the brink
Trust us, worse than you think
Trust us, our way of life is gone unless you

Trust us, we wouldn't tell you lies
Cross us and we'll cut you down to size

Every little step you take, we're watching you
Every little move you make, we're watching you
While you sleep we're wide awake we're watching you
Here's the price to keep you safe we're watching you
Every little step you take, we're watching you
Every little move you make, we're watching you
While you sleep we're wide awake we're watching you
Here's the price to keep you safe

Trust us, we're on the brink
Trust us, worse than you think
Trust us, our way of life is gone unless you
Trust us, we're on the brink
Trust us, worse than you think
Trust us, our way of life is gone unless you
Trust us
