lyrics

When you look into the sky
Oh, do you realize
These intrusive prying eyes
Are spying on our lives
And they have control
From the actions formed by fear
And they watch us from the air
Oh, but do you even care

It started back before 1984 when Reagan faced the Russians during the Cold War
It progressed to what we have today
Satellite controlled drones killing children in their homes

What will you do?

What will you do when the bombs fall down on you

Oh, for how long
Will we allow them to invade
Drop bombs from outer space
Collecting data, names, and faces
Will you heed the call
It's time to reclaim our civil rights
Because we should be free
With true democracy

Oh look into their lies
Oh it's your duty and your right
To question their line of sight
Or they'll use force and they'll use might
It's our own home
Oh and we should have a life
Free from prying eyes
From eagles in the sky
