Bits and Pieces
My life is all in bit and pieces
Information making judgment calls
Tabulating my life’s worth
Marketing my privacy
Try to get insurance when you really need it
Try to get a get a job when you can’t pay the bills
Try to find an answer without an ID number
Try your individuality; you are a statistic in its stead
A dollar in your pocket now
Means more then my sanity
I have a special offer, sir
We bought your name from a department store
My life has all been digitized
Organized and cataloged
Sold away in bits and pieces
Selfish means – impersonal and greedy ends
The economy makes me a victim
My Government won’t rescue me
I will be inundated by your pleas
The Bill of Rights doesn’t offer sanctity – to me
Why does my bank know more about me then I do
Why does my boss know about my credit plan
Why is my health clear to every one but me
Why is there no longer any privacy
