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The novelty is out of date -- a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!
