Lyrics
Panopticon
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Self censorship, self policing
Shaping human behaviour
Computer games, low attention span
Distractions for the servile brain
Inside the, Panopticon
You don’t have to have your phone on
All behaviour calibrated,from bulk metadata
Weishaupt comes alive
The all seeing eye
All your habits, all your movements
All your sexual preferences
All your colleagues, all your friendships
How often you take a shit
All your debts, all your bets
All your hopes and fears are known
Consolidation in every nation
The great work is nearly done
Weishaupt comes alive
The all seeing eye
Retaining bulk metadata to be held against you
The elitist leanings of man appealed to by corporations
Diminishing expectations can be seen in every nation
Many tongues, one voice
The great work of age has come
Weishaupt comes alive
The all seeing eye
Everything is known, health and your loans
All privacy gone, in the Panopticon
Everything is known, health and your loans
All privacy gone, in the Panopticon
