Smile You're Being Filmed Songtext

von Highscore

Sounds like a bad utopian fantasy but already is our fucked up reality. A promising attempt for total control.
This so called freedom is taking its toll. They are playing with your fears and their real goals disappear.
Do you really believe everything you see? These cameras do so much more than taking pictures of you, taking your freedom and tracking your needs, too. And you blindly accept more and more privacy theft, offer all the freedom you've got left. This is not only some fucked up big brother shit. You're being filmed all the time and you don't realize it. Such a perfect combination of politics and economy. Total surveillance of your actions and needs. You're the unsuspecting actor in a bad soap opera, just keep playing your part. the surveillance trade is almost indistinguishable from the arms trade. more than seventy per cent of companies manufacturing and exporting surveillance technology also export arms, chemical weapons, or military hardware. surveillance is a crucial element for the maintenance of any non-democratic infrastructure, and is an important activity in the pursuit of intelligence and political control. many countries in transition to democracy also rely heavily on surveillance to satisfy the demands of police and military. much of this technology is used to track the activities of dissidents, human rights activists, journalists, student leaders, minorities, trade union leaders, and political opponents. it is also useful for monitoring larger sectors of the population. with this technology, the financial transactions, communications activity and geographic movements of millions of people can be captured, analysed and transmitted cheaply and efficiently.
