MC Zappa - 33 (Interlude) Lyrics

Tell me why you're monitorin' my actions
Is this just for sovereign satisfaction?

I feel observed and disturbed like a lab rat
True peace of mind? I never had that

You obliteratin' my right to privacy
And it's an even bigger slight to lie to me

I ain't your slave, so you can leave me the hell alone
Quit chippin' and stop tappin' my telephone

Congress stomped us, and Bush just pushed us
So-called security; these crooks have hooked us

Readin' my bank statements and my text messages?
There ain't no tellin' when the next menace is

Am I really the one that needs to be watched close?
How 'bout the minds behind Guantanamo?

We need to repeal the Patriot Act; this ain't where it's at
It's far less safe to be black

This ain't for my security; that's a surety
Civil forfeiture means the jury eats

They can raid at any time; f*ck the Fourth Amendment
This is the world they stuck on your descendants

Blatant disregard for the Constitution
Lyrically hittin' hard, is my solution

And those who say "nothin' to hide" can go snuff it and die
My life ain't for the government to pry

They can legally frame you as a terrorist
You really mean to say you ain't scared of this?

U.S. turnin' into 1984
I start the revolution I've been waitin' for

I'ma really give 'em somethin' to see, like public TV
If they wanna keep f*ckin' wit' me

Under the glare of the All-Seeing Eye
With thunderous applause is how our freedom dies
