Nothing To Hide

from Deadman Road by Venetic ®

about

Life in the 21st century.

lyrics

All the carping critics are completely ineffectual
And there’s a gatekeeper on every gate
Nothing really counts unless it makes a buck or two
Better sell it now before it’s too late

Where blandness is a passport and money opens doors
Ever get the feeling that you’re bound to lose?
You can tilt at windmills or bow to the inevitable
There’s not much choice, in fact there’s nothing to choose

So this is what it’s like in the 21st century?
Where status is proportional to money and power
They kick you in the balls and then they want gratitude
Like you should be happy that they noticed you at all

What’s your panacea, what’s your platitude?
Have you got a brain - do you ever think at all?
Why do you swallow the crap that they’re feeding you?
Follow like a zombie as they ruin your world?

They’ve abolished your freedoms and if you think otherwise
Well my friend, you’re living in a dream
You’re going around in ever-shrinking circles
Wondering why it is things have no meaning

They’re slave drivers - they’ll work you hard
They’ll work you right until you drop
Slog your way until your retirement
Then they’ll go and harvest another crop

Surveillance on the streets, spying on the Net
You wonder what it is they’re hoping to find
All your little details; every last scrap of them
If you were honest, you’d have nothing to hide
