Privacy's Curtain Call

Lyrics
Ads that follow me from place to place
A virtual map, of my whole life they trace
[Pre-Chorus]
I smile wide for the lens that's always on
An audience that watches from dusk till dawn
Algorithm kings, in their digital thrones
Turning all our secrets into ones and zeroes
A comedy bit, on the screens, what we're showing
Taps and clicks tracking all, where we’re going
[Chorus]
I will laugh in the square
Digitized air, for the eyes of the tech billionaires
Society
Could it be, under watch, say goodbye to the key, in the web we're all caught, no decree
In chatroom cages, we rant and we rave
Our data mined from the cradle to the grave
[Pre-Chorus]
We type out lives on a virtual stage
With every like, we're just turning the page
Every secret whispered into the cloud's ear
Becomes a product for someone to steer
[Verse 3]
Surveilled in silence, yeah, we pay the price
While the watchers just roll their loaded dice
Satellite eyes beaming down from the sky
Got a footprint on the net, can't deny
[Pre-Chorus]
With each swipe, each post, each shared little quip
We're in the circus, and tech's holding the whip
[Verse 4]
Every step, every move, it's a prize
Marketers with the power to analyze
Jokes on us while we freely give the show
Privacy's a relic, so adieu, cheerio
[Pre-Chorus]
We’re the product, we’re the play
In this never-ending data cabaret
In the dark forest (dark forest)
Encryption keys, keep the secrets around us
Hide and seek with our data in the trees
Stealth mode on, in the thickets we're bound, hush
[Verse 5]
When the whispers travel not beyond the leaves
Longing for a chat where no trace is found
