about

A very relevant song about loss of privacy through our modern technology; how we're pretty much living in George Orwell's "1984."

lyrics

Nowhere to Hide
Lyrics by Emilio Martinez & Chris Hayes

Intro guitar solo: Chris

Wake up from this ignorance
To a world of insignificance
Where all we know is a lie

The dawn of comprehension
A newfound tension
A glimpse at our reflection seen through synthetic eyes

Signals are amplified constantly
Through all our modern technology
Such a clever disguise

Oh brother, are you watching,
Are you listening to every aspect of our lives
Through your millions of ears and eyes?
And have we nowhere to hide?

Cellphones and cyberspace
All collected and databased
Our secrets and mistakes are accessible
And there is no escape

So, to shit with our privacy
To hell with human intimacy
All the wealthiest bastards have purchased this power
To fuck our dignity

Oh brother, are you watching,
Are you listening to every aspect of our lives
Through your millions of ears and eyes?
And have we nowhere to hide...

...from brother, always watching,
Always listening for every detail of our lives
Through your millions of ears and eyes?
And have we nowhere to hide?

Just how much much further shall you take
This disregard for our liberties?
Subjugation of the innocent
While the guilty run free?

And what of our constitution?
Will it become obsolete?
And will the story end in revolution
Or defeat???

Guitar solo: Alberto

We can only tell with time
If the threat is real or benign
Our future's uncertain, but maybe we've nothing to fear
It may all be fine if we only stay in line...
...but can we ever be certain??

Piano: Federico Vender (guest)
Bass solo: Emilio

Oh brother, are you watching,
Are you listening to every aspect of our lives
Through your millions of ears and eyes?
And have we nowhere to hide...

...from brother, always watching, always listening?
How could you possibly memorize
Every detail of our lives
Through your millions of ears and eyes?

Guitar solos: Chris & Alberto
