Electric Eye

Up here in space, I'm looking down on you.
My lasers trace everything you do.
You think you've private lives? Think nothing of the kind!
There is no true escape; I'm watching all the time.

I'm made of metal, my circuits gleam.
I am perpetual, I keep the country clean.
I'm elected -- electric spy. I'm protected -- electric eye.

Always in focus; you can't feel my stare.
I zoom into you, but you don't know I'm there.
I take pride in probing all your secret moves.
My tearless retina takes pictures that can prove.

Electric eye in the sky.  Feel my stare, always there.
There's nothing you can do about it.
Develop and expose, I feed upon your every thought.
And so my power grows.

-- Halford / Downing / Tipton (Judas Priest) 1982
