Der gläserne Mensch [English translation]

We are so lovely and cute (1)

People listen to us on the telephone

You haven't sent off your mail yet

but the others are already reading them

The world is in an Apple- and iPhone craze

and CPUs know more than us

They are mercilessly mining data

Wherever you are -they follow you

For Security -tapattack

We are fully supervised

BND (2) - NSA

We are all under blanket suspicion

The glassy human, caught in the net

Secret Agencies fever with collection-high

The glassy human, caught in the net

Governments play the data-trade

Caught in the net

Against any right and law,

Caught in the net

Against any right and law,

Caught in the net

Against any right and law,

Where is your sphere still private?

Where are networks really social?

You have your hard data-depository

Humans made of glass -fully digital

We are betrayed and sold

Spying is strategy

Total Control -totally uncontrolled

And the net will never forget you

From early to late -exploited

Freedom threatened

BKA (3), FBI

One wrong word, red security alarm

The glassy human, caught in the net

Secret Agencies fever with collection-high

The glassy human, caught in the net

Governments play the data-trade

Caught in the net

Against any right and law,

Caught in the net

Against any right and law,

Caught in the net

Against any right and law,

Whoever is who this world

in his hands holds

Hopefully will some day notice

that glass is breakable
