Lyrics

The Net

The net will point at you just like a gun

The net will hold you when you wanna run

It will surround you like a raging sea

It's big enough for you, enough for me

The net

Takes away our dignity

Suppresses our desire

The net

Anyone can see it's just a matter of time

Before we all will be toein' the line

The net will keep you running in the race

You're just a number, just another face

It will control you from the day you're born

And keep a track of you until you're gone

The net

Takes away our liberty

Suppresses all our fire

The net

Anyone can see it's just a matter of time

Before we all will be toein' the line

The net will get you with your credit card

And keep you tied down to your own backyard

The net will choke you like a smokers' smoke

Then it will laugh at you 'cos you're the joke

The net

Takes away our dignity

Suppresses our desire

The net

Anyone can see it's just a matter of time

Before we all will be toein' the line
