Spynet (Verse 1) Cause way before Verizon or Apple were ever known They said we’d develop an addiction to the telephone And not that they were wrong, but I tend to laugh Cause before the phone they said the same about the telegraph Claimin’ it’d replace human relations With daily newspapers in front of our faces Which results in the distress of certain energy Even claiming that reading would affect a persons memory But in reality we have more power together Through the Internet communicating now more than ever But the U.S. is far from 1st, even well from 3rd With some of the worst internet in the developed world So you gotta have a penny for your patience With slower broadband than any other nations So we’re moving slower than half of the globe With internet speeds 8x faster in Sol So why is it more expensive despite Others get better internet for a 10th of the price Damn, so actually what that means Is we’ve been paying 10x more for half of the speed Cause cable companies that used to compete Went from 40 companies consolidated to 3 Decrease them all so that no one competes Increasing costs while they’re slowing the speeds While other countries have divided a huge sum With up to 6 high speed providers to choose from Yet we still claim we’re the best as we disconnect While everybody’s paying less for better internet Damn, cause Uncle Sam’s ass jerked us Paying top price for a 2nd class service But are able to get away with their conspirement Cause it’s a modern day societal requirement Cause nowadays access to internet is thought of As just as important as electricity and water But is used to be considered a luxury Not the utility today that it has come to be In order to be viable it’s vital to strive Necessary to survive and apply for a job So we need to update with these evolving times To fiber optic internet before we fall behind (Chorus) Audio, Radio, Television, Video Analog, Digital, iTunes, or physical Sign in state username/password By the way it looks we’ve been doing things backwards Audio, Radio, Television, Video Analog, Digital, iTunes, or physical Most will love it, some will deeply resent it Cause they can see it’s dangerous to be completely dependent (Verse 2) Cause Google doesn’t only track what you search It collects data from you for contractual perks Through tracking software they pin on us against rights Installed on over 10 million other websites Getting away with inevitable invasion Of health related searches and medical information By collecting the data that Google tracks From Gmail, Youtube, even Google Maps And we don’t even know the fullest extent Of where they store it or what exactly they’re doing with it All’s we know is that they view us as the main subjects Making billions off the data that they’ve gained from us Online surveillance hustlers for a profit Cause people went from being the customer to the product So we get free access to these sites In exchange for online privacy and our rights And social media services aren’t free Cause we’ve been unknowingly paying for them with our identity And we make it easy for them when they look As 1 of every 6 people are on Facebook To the experience we lend our mind Takes up to 20% of all time spent online Which logs everything you do and the pages you like Within your status updates and the words that you type Then using that information to lie to us all Creating detailed profiles of who we are Including mannerisms, rabbits, and preferences Personality, private opinions, even fetishes Clearly eventually over invasive Able to determine your sexual orientation Then sell that information to advertisers Who then send us invitations tryna add subscribers It’s just the facts of business That’s why most adds tend to match your interests To maximize income with a clever disguise The most invasive advertisement system ever devised So as the future web is extended Most’ll choose to embrace it, the rest’ll resent it So now the only choice that we’ve been left with Is to somehow use the internet to defend it (Chorus) Audio, Radio, Television, Video Analog, Digital, iTunes, or physical Sign in state username/password By the way it looks we’ve been doing things backwards Audio, Radio, Television, Video Analog, Digital, iTunes, or physical Most will love it, some will deeply resent it Cause they can see it’s dangerous to be completely dependent
