Bit Harvester Lyrics

They know you better than your mother

Closer than the closest lover

Electric prying eyes

Collecting your whole life

We're too willing to release

Our right to basic privacies

And when it's gone, it's gone for good

If you have nothing to hide then you have nothing fear

'Till you are thought a threat, but speech is not illegal yet

Still one day you may disappear

One more name on the list of suspected terrorists

Run by idiots

So goddamn stupid

They know you better than your preacher

Far more than your god

Hovering cameras keep

Infinite data logs

We're too willing to ignore

The power creeping through the door

And when it's there, it's there for good

If you have nothing to hide then you have nothing fear

'Till you are thought a threat, but speech is not illegal yet

Still one day you may disappear

One more name on the list of proudly murdered militants

We only notice after it's too late

When someone else is stripped down

Patted, prodded, sent to impound

We barely bat a fucking lash

Our hands bound in metal cuffs

Watching our own power break us

It happened elsewhere in the past

How quickly we forget

Assume by virtue we're immune

Quickly, quietly, soon they will own

And every action they will know

And we will let them go

Until it's our turn

Break free now
