Unforgiven Shakers - Mental Cage

I've got everything I wanted
I've got everything I need
If you look a little closer
It's not all that it seems
If you're good they give you credit
If you're bad they give you jail
And in-between the wires
Your profile's up for sale

You take it on good faith
That somebody takes their time
To check that it is right
But the view's more polarised
You always press accept
You've got to read between the lines
You always press accept
You've got to read between the lines

You just do what they say
You just do what they say
You just don't do what they do
You just don't do what they do
There's no escape
There's no escape
There's no escape
There's no escape
From this mental cage

They cross that creepy line
That never should be crossed
And don't it make you wonder
Who's carrying the cost
You are a million data points
In a server far away
A thousand cc cameras
Surveil you every day

Freedom of the press
Or just Freedom to believe
Freedom of a voice
Freedom to even breathe
Better check your recent history
It might help you try to see
The vision from this cell
They always justify the means

You just do what they say
You just do what they say
You just don't do what they do
You just don't do what they do
There's no escape
There's no escape
There's no escape
There's no escape
From this mental cage
