about

This track is written in response to the 2007 New Zealand police terrorism arrests. In which fear was used by the NZ state to convince its citizens that even here the long reach of terrorism exerted it's influence. Except the targets for the arrests were environmentalist, indigenous rights activists, political activists and anarchists. An attempt at silencing dissent? or protest? or the right to express an opinion?

lyrics

Check my home on Google Earth, see me stand in my backyard. I've seven different passwords, a PIN code, and a plastic card. Watch me on the camera's, in the streets, and in the malls, read my transcripts of transmissions from my interesting calls. Logging on, logging off, checking in, track and trace, the electronic shadow left from accessed stuff in cyberspace. I'm south side down from Huxley, and Orwell too is just behind. GPS to check my transit, SIS to 'Bug-my-ride". Fingerprints and DNA, the electric hum of 0/1. Scan the love songs in my text from your blown-up dome known as Echelon. Privacy has had its day, print my face for show and tell. The efficient methods of hidden men, the legacy of COINTELL/protected by the weight of state, defended by the party line. Profit needs security, and progress is a state of mind.
