letra de surveillance capitalism - evan greer
[intro]
“we live in capitalism. its power seems inescapable. so did the divine right of kings.”
[verse 1]
once consent was manufactured
now it’s harvested for cl!cks
algorithms make decisions
filter bubbles make us sick
[chorus]
we’re all connected to machines
hate every second but we just can’t look away
we all wanna be seen
but behind the screen
there’s a nightmare dressed up as a dream
and we can’t wake up
[interlude]
“private companies basically have morе power and more information on us than governmеnts do without any sort of infrastructure to hold them accountable.”
[verse 2]
every thought, every emotion (“how do you sustain a business model in which users don’t pay for your service?”)
charted, processed, optimized (“senator, we run ads.”)
eye movements, facial expressions
manipulation monetized
[chorus]
we’re all connected to machines
hate every second but we just can’t look away
we all wanna be seen
but behind the screen
there’s a nightmare dressed up as a dream
and we can’t wake up
[interlude]
“there’s a difference between knowing something and doing something about it. we assume that there should be a prison system, there should be a surveillance apparatus. i think that these assumptions need to be questioned.”
[bridge]
an infinite playground, a library
of human creativity
they paved it over, put up walls
now it’s billboards, big bucks, shopping malls
[chorus]
we’re all connected to machines
hate every second but we just can’t look away
we all wanna be seen
but behind the screen
there’s a nightmare dressed up as a dream
