Panoptic Vision by The Max Levine Ensemble Lyrics
Are you going to a private party?
Remain unseen and catch a watchful eye
See the etiquette, baby, is watch what you say
Yeah, if somebody's listening, hey, well it's not me
While written up across the overpass
There's some uncoordinated mass abstention
That gets no attention. What nobody mentions
Says nothing to me about my disaffection
While all the creeping advertisers take everything you say and do
Bundle it up, and then they're selling it back to you
Try not to discount the full force of the rhythm
A suspicious glance, and you find yourself in it
In panoptic vision, you get what you're giving
The cop in your head rules an infinite prison
And the joke's on you if you've been living with it
I-I-I'm losing patience. I-I'm getting sick
And the trick of paralysis is you never loosen your grip
While all the creeping social climbers try all of this year's nom de plumes
All while the cop in your head is coming up with one for you too
Remain unseen and catch a watchful eye
See the etiquette, baby, is watch what you say
Yeah, if somebody's listening, hey, well it's not me
While written up across the overpass
There's some uncoordinated mass abstention
That gets no attention. What nobody mentions
Says nothing to me about my disaffection
While all the creeping advertisers take everything you say and do
Bundle it up, and then they're selling it back to you
Try not to discount the full force of the rhythm
A suspicious glance, and you find yourself in it
In panoptic vision, you get what you're giving
The cop in your head rules an infinite prison
And the joke's on you if you've been living with it
I-I-I'm losing patience. I-I'm getting sick
And the trick of paralysis is you never loosen your grip
While all the creeping social climbers try all of this year's nom de plumes
All while the cop in your head is coming up with one for you too
