lyrics

Here in this global village of voyeurs inverted - in contiguous prostration - the gaze is deflected (ensuring all are present for inspection). You are subject (instant validation), you are object (incessant judgment). Encroaching anonymity staved off by virtual panopticon. Surrounded we wait with alacrity: total accomplishment, total control; total surveillance, total control.
