lyrics

move along folks, push 'em back there, show's over
move along folks, let him bleed til he bleeds out
back to the parking lot, back to your cars, to your homes
all you people with your phones and your keys out
move along folks, push 'em back there, show's over
move along folks, keep your hearts and your minds true
show's over folks, everybody get back where you came
we're the all-seeing eye and we'll find you

this is providence speaking
eye on the pyramid always open and seeking
that data trickle in, but the flywheel leaking
come along way from the payphone phreaking
just the same old file with some new docs
now the whole damn word is a blue box
capital is a clue, and it's you
you're the new breed - the new blood - the new stocks
and i'm complicit too
trying to push what i make til it gets to you
and it don't matter how the pistol shot
if you talk about ethics than you missed the plot
cuz we're feeding from the bottom sow
can't tell what they sell? you're the product now
the hell that we built somehow
where a few smart people keep the world dumbed down

move along folks, push 'em back there, show's over
move along folks, let him bleed til he bleeds out
back to the parking lot, back to your cars, to your homes
all you people with your phones and your keys out
move along folks, push 'em back there, show's over
move along folks, keep your hearts and your minds true
show's over folks, everybody get back where you came
we're the all-seeing eye and we'll find you

the convenience caste
locked ourselves in, they didn't need to ask
and they got the tightest grasp
on our hope for the future once they write the past
you opt in to the movement
hand over what makes you a human
and you know they'll traingulate
leverage all your loves and your fears and hate
this manufactured fate
got a slick new crowd-sourced surveillance state
email your resistance? great!
write your senator, embody a collection plate
things hectic, right?
tent cities bulldozed by electric bikes
that you rent with a chip or a swipe
and let five more companies on into your life

move along folks, push 'em back there, show's over
move along folks, let him bleed til he bleeds out
back to the parking lot, back to your cars, to your homes
all you people with your phones and your keys out
move along folks, push 'em back there, show's over
move along folks, keep your hearts and your minds true
show's over folks, everybody get back where you came
we're the all-seeing eye and we'll find you
