lyrics

WHAT HAVE WE GOT TO HIDE?

'I got a tap on my phone' I said- the reply
Was 'Really? No that's just paranoid'
Read the news it's gone worldwide
And now you've got one too
We got national security ear and eye
On all we say and do- goodbye
To openness- here's your alibi
Stay shut up in your room

What have we got to hide?

Hands in a suit all open wide
'You've got nothing to fear if you've nothing to hide'
But who feels free to speak their mind
When it goes against the grain?
The pattern is set don't go outside
The internet and the TV guide
The social skills are all supplied
Make it easy on your brain

What have we got to hide?

And don't forget we're all at risk
From anyone who doesn't fit
He or she who shouts or spits
Or rips the newspaper to bits
Or has a beard or twisted lips
Or doesn't worship fish and chips
Or just got off a plane or ship
Or lives a life on benefits
- Such a lot of people,,,shit
Let's just assume they're terrorists

Fear will make us stranger to the other one next door
Reading between the lines that weren't even there before

What have we got to hide?
