Synthesised voices and piped music alone,
They seem to fill now the telephone.
Lines are listened into by someone – who knows?
Big brother is watching,
that clearly shows.
They say it’s in my own interest…..
Speed cameras and infrared beams
Observe all my driving, it seems.
Did I incur an infringement,
In my morning mail it is sent.
They say it’s in my own interest…..
Phoneing for service I’m greeted
By a person at an overseas switchboard seated,
Assisting me with efficiency,
Courtesy and alarcrity.
They say it’s in my own interest…..
