[Verse 1] Got a camera on the corner And a camera by the store Got a camera in the checkout And a badge at every door My phone lights up with a shadow Every move leaves a trace Feels like I got a watcher For every mile of my place [Pre-Chorus] Mama said, “Boy, keep your head low” Daddy said, “Mind what you say” Now the mail feels thin and fragile Like it’s checked along the way [Chorus] Big Brother’s on the fence line Big Brother’s at the gate Big Brother keeps a ledger Of the things we do and say Lord, it sure feels familiar Same eyes, different name Big Brother’s on the fence line And we’re all in the frame (all in the frame) [Verse 2] Got a little screen in my pocket That knows where I’ve been Got the same old town hall promise With a new machine skin They say, “Son, it’s for your safety” But that line got old When every road sign turned to glass And every secret turned to code [Pre-Chorus] Mama said, “Boy, keep your head low” Daddy said, “Mind what you say” Now the mail feels thin and fragile Like it’s checked along the way [Chorus] Big Brother’s on the fence line Big Brother’s at the gate Big Brother keeps a ledger Of the things we do and say Lord, it sure feels familiar Same eyes, different name Big Brother’s on the fence line And we’re all in the frame (all in the frame) [Bridge] I’m not scared of the dark, no I’m scared of losing truth Of handing over my whole life To a polished, quiet booth If freedom’s just a slogan On a sticker and a screen Then we traded away the hard road For a room that’s clean [Chorus] Big Brother’s on the fence line Big Brother’s at the gate Big Brother keeps a ledger Of the things we do and say Lord, it sure feels familiar Same eyes, different name Big Brother’s on the fence line And we’re all in the frame (all in the frame) [Outro] Yeah, we’re all in the frame We’re all in the frame
