The Watchers

[Verse 1]

Eyes in every corner watching what we do

Cameras on the streetlights, tracking me and you

Digital footprints leading to our door

They know where we've been and where we're going for

Algorithms reading every word we type

Selling all our secrets, believing all the hype

Privacy's a relic from a bygone age

Now we're all performers on a global stage

[Chorus]

The watchers never sleep

The watchers never rest

Recording all our secrets

Filing all the rest

We're naked in their sight

Even when we think we're alone at night

The watchers keep their vigil

[Verse 2]

Phones that always listen, TVs that can see

Social media tracking every cup of tea

Credit cards and loyalty cards tell them who we are

Satellites above us like a glowing star

They promise it's for safety; promise it's for good

They'd protect us if they could, if they only could

But who watches the watchers when the shadows fall?

Who guards the guards who guard us all?

[Chorus]

The watchers never sleep

The watchers never rest

Recording all our secrets

Filing all the rest

We're naked in their sight

Even when we think we're alone at night

The watchers keep their vigil

[Bridge]

They're watching... always watching...

In your pocket, in your home

On your screen, in your phone

They're watching... always watching...

Every click and every call

They see it all... they see it all...

[Final Verse]

Maybe we gave up our freedom willingly

Traded privacy for convenience, can't you see?

Now we're trapped inside the web that we have spun

The watchers and the watched have become one

[Outro]

The watchers never sleep... (fading to silence)
