XTC - Real By Reel lyrics

rate me

In this secret time, invading on our privacy<br>Unknowing we mime, we play for the ministry<br>The can film you in bed<br>Or when you take a bath<br>They can tape every cry<br>They can tape every laugh<br>They can turn you around so you won't know what's<br><br>Real by reel<br>Busy little bees recording everything you feel<br>On real by reel<br>Documented down like rats<br>They're catching up on every squeal<br>On real by reel<br>Real by reel by real by<br><br>In this hidden time, ignorance may help you to cope<br>Rehearsing for crimes, and sex just in government cinemascope<br>The can film you at work<br>Or when they let you play<br>They can tape what you think<br>They can tape what you say<br>They can't blur your i.d. so you won't know what's<br><br>Now I lay me down to sleep<br>Knowing that your lenses peep<br>Now I eat my daily bread<br>And into the tape spool I'll be fed
