Video Night

On the downtown streets of London
a battle's taking place
a battle of technology
and privicy of face

the government is watching you
they see your every move
with a mesh of video cameras
when or where you can not choose

they claim that it cuts down
on the problem of urban crime
they capture every face
every moment caught in time

[bridge]
you unknowingly pass them by
as they secretly catch your eye
all of london's in a craze
video nights make…
video daze

[chorus]
video night
video night...
everywhere you turn they're watching
video night...
everywhere you go they're recording
video night...
in the shadows and the lights
video night....
Give up your rights
[end chorus]

in a secret room in downtown
there's a super computer spy
it scans all the faces
of the people walking by

they're searching for the criminals
they are watching for the crime
but what they have a problem with
is they're watching all the time

As the camera catches the face
of everybody walking by
it compares it to the database
of all the criminals they can't find

they say that crime is down
it's become a safer town
people say it's piracy
an invasion of their privacy

[bridge]
[chorus]
