Integral

Andrew Sullivan posted this video a while back. It is a pretty accurate commentary on our times, where we're all, potentially, under surveillance. Take it away, Pet Shop Boys:



Lyrics:

Long live us, the persuaded we,
Integral, collectively.
The whole project, it's brand new,
Conceived solely to protect you.

Everyone has their own number
In the system that we operate under.
We're moving to a situation
Where your lives exist as information.

One world.
One reason.
Unchanging.
One season.

We're concerned.
You're a threat.
You're not integral
To the project.

Sterile.
Immaculate.
Rational.
Perfect.

If you've done nothing wrong,
You've got nothing to fear.
If you've something to hide,
You shouldn't even be here.

We're concerned.
You're a threat.
You're not integral
To the project.

If you've done nothing wrong,
You've got nothing to fear.
If you've something to hide,
You shouldn't even be here.
You've had your chance,
Now we've got the mandate.
If you've changed your mind,
I'm afraid it's too late.

We're concerned.
You're a threat.
You're not integral
To the project.

Sterile.
Immaculate.
Rational.
Perfect.
