There is no place to hide
Nowhere to run from life’s assailants
No matter where you go, you know
You’re subject to surveillance
Each one of us a target
Like we’re prey before the hunt
The world’s been taken over
By the sons of Allen Funt
Big Brother is a menace
Yes, a threat that’s like no other
But now we learn that someone
Has been spying on Big Brother
A fellow, quite disgruntled
Is about to be indicted
For all the secret cables
He discretely Carbonited
Because of his transgression
Trusts were broken, bridges burned
We’d better take a moment
To review the lessons learned
A word is as explosive
As a canon that’s been loaded
So if you’re going to spread the word
It better be encoded
Don’t tell what you’ve been thinking
‘Till your thoughts have been refined
No rule says that you have to
Speak all thoughts that cross your mind
Silence has great value
As discretion is a token
That the insights truly priceless
Are the ones we leave unspoken
From what seems the slightest slip up
Dire consequences loom
Say only what you’d say
With Mata Hari in the room
Lips were clearly loosened
By the brew that they were drinking
And all across the planet
Ships of State are sinking
Big Brother may be watching
But he really isn’t thinking
