People watching what does it give us
Sense of power see them on TV
What are you thinking when they pass you
Change the view and look at camera three
Who’s that passing is she famous
She’s a star and she’s looking at me
She’s an actress that’s her living
So’s the smile that she gives for free
All around us are we public
No more private lives for us
Have some drinks on a Friday
End up waiting for the bus
Up the stairs we sit in silence
Still the camera shines on us
Coloured images all around
People talking People sleeping, just like us
21st century technology makes this
A place where no one is free
But still there’s violation of the innocents
Where then’s the technology when you need to see
