Sonic Boom Six - A Bright Cold Day In April lyrics

It was a bright cold day in April the clocks Were striking on thirteen when she checked the mailbox She yawned and took her place Numbered and indexed and neat in the database Just looked the same as any old letter In it drop, tear the top, and a card inside They say that it'll make our lives better Nothing to fear if you've got none to hide You'll be data protected, you'll be part of the team Now that you're a number on the screen All securely connected to the central machine Now that you're a number on the screen Outside, the sky, was shiny and blue The officer stopped her and scanned all her details through She smiled because she knew That he was from England because he had a nice card too The fingerprint it didn't upset her For these laws in the wars he fought and died They say that it'll make our lives better Nothing to fear if you've got none to hide You'll be data protected, you'll be part of the team Now that you're a number on the screen All securely connected to the central machine Now that you're a number on the screen Your attention! Our survey says our system has total public approval Of our use of your data for preventioneering of illegals Full obliteration of dole scrounge tacticians And further elucidation of preventative counter measures on the continued war on terror So there is no reason for you to worry. Things are under control It was a bright cold day in April the clocks Were striking on thirteen when she checked the mailbox By then it was too late to save civil liberties we don't appreciate
