"Welcome to 21st Century Laboratory,
Like Rats in Training to Obey all Authority,
From Cradle to Grave, Government the New Saviour,
Watching for Signs of Anti-Social Behaviour,
You'd Never have Known of Their Interest in You
As They Pore Your Life Over, Everything that You Do,
Even Miss Goody-Two-Shoes, Environmentally Correct,
Is Minutely Inspected for Thoughts Deemed Suspect,
Nothing is Missed, Even Parents it Seems,
Who May Pass Independence to Offspring's Genes,
Nations' Family Homes Must be Open to Inspection,
The Jackboot is Swinging, We Know its Direction"
