You Just Can't Be Too Paranoid

Another golden oldie. Just for fun and because I love conspiracy theories. For non - UK readers, Lord Lucan was (is?)
an English aristocrat who disappeared after allegedly murdering his children's nanny. Some say
he committed scuicide, others insist he is still alive and sightings are reported in the tabloid
press occasionally. Menwith Hill is a US Government satellite monitoring station sited in the
north of England and The Inland Revenue the UK Taxation agency.


Earth is controlled by aliens
The information is surpressed
By covert government agencies
In both the East and West
George Dubya is a Martian
So are Chirac and Blair too
I read it in the tabloid press
So I know it must be true
Elvis is alive and well
His hairline now recedes
I saw him chatting with Lord Lucan
In a small cafe near Leeds.
The spy station at Menwith Hill
Records each phone-call that you make
The Inland Revenue without telling you
Have authority to take
The cash out of your Bank account
If you make some small mistake
On your annual tax return
All your friends and neighbours
Can find out how much you earn.
Your bank and your employer
Collaborate with MI5
They have a secret dossier
On everyone alive
The illuminati have their agents
in every town and street.
Mysterious societies
Control army and police
You have no individual liberty
In anything you do
You just can't be too paranoid
Big Brother is watching you....

Good write and oh so true of life and being watched. Camera's hidden everywhere, and the most unusual places too. We are never free from the world's eyes.

This uh Lord Lucan fella, so he really know Elvis, huh? If I wuz you, man, I wouldn't be writin' on the Net 'bout dem Illuminatis. They's some mean mothers and they's everywhere you know. My grandmother's unlce's cousin's fiancee's stepson told me all about 'em. I gots the skinny. ;-)

I barely made it through this, Ian, I was laughing so hard. Have you heard BareNaked Ladies song "Everybody Get in Line?" If not, I'll send you a link.
