Surveillance
By NeonRebar on July 16, 2026 10:45 pm
Ring around the rosy, a pocket full of posies. Ashes! Ashes! We all fall down.
More joy from the united snakes of 'merica
Lyrics:
Up from the scatter
And beat down class
Troops gonna pound
And hammer our ass
Cameras twitch with the cynical sigh
Your name and number cross the alphabet sky
Save it all for later when you buzz wear down
We’ll rise someday and run this town
Eyes can see what no voice can say
The bride laid bare in the news today
Crack addled state and the sobering few
Will not erase what the idle hand do
Tribes of color, money and class
Rule the way of our zig zag path
But together in a muddle and explosive crash
Come a truth we all will fear to pass
We mirror the nothing
We mirror the world
Extinction coming
And televised
CHORUS
On the news the reader say
A man will come and save your day
and own your life and gut your soul
surveillance rises and takes control
A man has come to rule your day
Surveillance rises and takes control
Some choose to hide in a chemical tent
Laboring down days beggary spent
Come slinking eyes to pierce your veil
Record your presence, rewrite your tale.
Forget about the animal
And the renegade soul
You trade prime spirit
For fools gold
Carnival barker and hes clamoring to
Thoughtless drones who proxy for you
Gotta load a gun, gotta fire first shot
Wake the giant out of his rot
Memory fades in a clinking glass
And sleep of reason holding fast
Time ticks down while you waste away
Life blood planet calls sick today
We mirror the nothing
We mirror the world
Extinction coming
And televised
